Answer 1

Yeah, macs didnt do extensions did they.. try simply renaming the file from mydocument to mydocument.doc
if you are sure it is a word file. It should then open correctly.

If it wasnt in word off the mac you may have to try .txt .rtf etc until you find the magic combo. Just add the extension to the name first then open it.
