I have a laptop running XP Professional and Word 2002; I have an iMac Intel
OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard).
(Note: I have Office 2007 on disc, but the laptop can't handle it without
SP2 and I've never been able to successfully download/install the update on
the laptop so I'm stuck with Word 2002).

I'm losing too much coverting to RTF files from Mac Pages to Word and back
(in particular the "track changes" function and some formatting) so I want
to get Word for the Mac€¦ but will the current Mac OS Word v ______ be fully
interchangeable with the Word 2002 running on XP?

Download the SP2 update from -
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
(note that the update availability will end in July) and install it from the
exe file.
Then if automatic updating does not allow you to update to SP3, download the
SP3 update
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en.
In order to install SP2, you will need SP1 - that is no longer available as
a download from Microsoft support, however see
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
and http://www.windowsreinstall.com/winx.../servicepack1/
