Windows Office for Macintosh Query

May 29, 2005 2:59PM PDT

I'm thinking about getting a iBook for college this fall. And I was wondering about the needs for Micrsoft Office programs. Are the presentations, documents, and spreadsheets that I create in the Macintosh program compatible and transferable to the Windows program?

And if you want to save a bundle, look at the MacOSX version of Open Office over at http://www.openoffice.org It's files can be compatible with the Windows clan. Just save as the document format you need.
