This is an issue on Windows machines as well. People using MS Works need to explicitly save their documents in Word or RTF format to exchange their files with others more easily.

I support some Macs and Windows machines and I haven't had any problems exchanging documents between the two platforms. I've used OpenOffice on the Mac to manage MS Office documents and I've used MS Office on Windows machines. I also use OpenOffice on OS X to created PDF files that I've opened on other platforms without issue.

Currently, I send invoices I create in PDF format using OpenOffice on Linux to a recipient who opens and prints it using Adobe Acrobat Reader on OS X. Works great!

Peace...
