how to read MSword files on Mac and vice versa?

yup. i'm doing a project and because the group members are working on their own parts, the presentation is actually split up into a few files. so when we wanted to compile everything together, we found out that we couldn't because microsoft word files couldn't be read on mac (whatever the name of the MSword equivalent there is), and vice versa.

i'm sure it's possible to overcome this problem but i don't know how. any help will be appreciated. thanks in advance =)

There's MS Office for Mac.

Or if you want freebie, use Open Office.

If it's not 2007, it should have no issues. As far as I'm aware, there's a fix around, either in the release candidate or somewhere else. Can't remember.

The stable version has some issues with Office 2007... the release candidate works quite OK.
