Robert:
Thanks for replying. My wife and I just got iMacs and have installed Office
for Mac 2008. We have been experimenting and found that if we save the files
as Word 97 files, other people can read them. The Mac saves the files as
*.docx. Apparently only Mac's can read that type of file.

I've been getting messages back from friends that tell me Word files saved on

what version of Word are you having there exactly?
If MacWord works in the same way as Word 2007 (in this regard), then
it's either you saving the files in *.doc or the recipient installing
the Office Compatibility pack which can be found he
