I just started writing a paper on my school's dell PC, i saved it to a flash drive thing but when i plug it into my mac, it comes up as a docx instead of jus a word doc. then when i try to open it, it jus gives me a bunch of crazy codes. I have Transfered info from my mac to the pc back to my mac, before. Does it only work because i initially saved it on my mac b4 i saved on the pc. If i create a doc on my mac first will it work on both the pc and the mac? And if i create a doc on the pc first will it not work on my mac but work on the pc? Is this whats happening? Im not a computer genius, im jus guessing here.

Sure! Use a flash drive or just email it to yourself and download it on your Mac!

There are Windows and Office packages for both PCs and Macs - they do work differently.
You might be able to save a Word doc to a TXT file and open it on the Mac -- you would only lose formatting. What happens if you want to take it back to school to use on the PC? Save the Mac file as a TXT file also?

Search for NeoOffice on Google, or Apples download page. Docx is Microsoft Office 2007's new file type, and the Mac version of Office is based on Office 2004. NeoOffice may be considered bare-bones to MS Office, but it gets the job done and is compatible with tons of file types. MS is making MS Office 2007 for the Mac next year.

no no no.. your problem is file extensions, what is the picies file extension? set it to a cross platform type, jpeg,png, ect what ever suites .. use the save as function.. now getting it from your mac to you're pc, disc is a bit mmm fussy , got any kind of flash drive? usb stick, sd card or even a mobile phone or anything like that? that would be best.. are the computers on the same network? if so use that way.

I would suggest saving the document on the PC as a plain text document (*.txt)
Its kinda of a generic text format.
It should open up with any Mac word processor (apple works, simple text, etc)

Yes or burn things on a CD using Nero. Do not use easy CD Creator.
A flash drive is the quickest and easiest way.
You can transfer anything, including music and videos.
