Move files between Windows and the Macintosh
If you run Microsoft Office on your Apple computer, you can open any Office file that you create or store on a Microsoft Windows computer. For example, you can start Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, or any other Office application on your iMac or iBook, and then use a network connection to locate and open the desired file on a PC.
Some Apple computers do not have floppy disk drives. If your Apple does not belong to a network and does not have a floppy drive, you can transfer files on CD or send them using e-mail.
TipWhen you transfer Office files from an Apple to a PC, include the file name extension. Doing so makes it easier to work with the files on the PC. For example, transfer Word documents with the .doc extension, Excel spreadsheets with the .xls extension, and so on.
