having a friend visit. she uses a mac.
i have windows XP home.

will she be able to use my computer with her document files, or other types
of files?

if not, is there a way to convert mac created stuff to windows type stuff?

i also have wordperfect office 12.

thanks in advance,
robert
 
Maybe, it depends on what media she has her documents save
on, a PC won't read a Mac floppy, but CD-R should be OK.
Flash media with USB or Firewire should be usable if you
have compatible programs. A file format such as rtf should
be universal, but some programs may not have a default cross
platform file format. If she has WP compatible files they
should work as long as the transfer method works. Flash
media might be best, or CD-R with finalized CDs.

When I win the lottery I plan to buy a Mac just so I can
have one, But I'll build myself several more PCs.
