Do you have OOo installed on both computers? If the PC doesn't have OOo
installed, you need to save the documents made on your Mac as *.doc (or
*.xls) (Save As and choose MS Word).
We work with several computers here and to exhange files, we email
them to
each other as attachments, or put them on an USB stick (see that both
Mac
and Windows can read what's on the USB stick). You can also save a
copy on a
CD or a floppy disk (that both Mac and PC can read).
You need to format the floppy on the Mac as DOS compatible, (FAT 32),
in order
for the Windows machine to be able to read it. The Mac can read several
different
file formats including the FAT 32 used by the older versions of WIndows
and which
even the newest versions of Windows can handle even though their native
format
is NTFS. FAT 32 is more or less the lowest common denominator file
system that
Mac, Linux, BSD, and Windows can all handle.
