Mac Compatibility question

I have a buddy who is considering getting a Core 2 Duo Mac laptop, but he has a bit of concern with compatibility. His main issue is with office suite type files. If, for example, he types something in word at school on a PC, saves it on a USB drive, and tries to load it on his Mac, if he laptop has Word, will the file be functional? He is concerned about these kinds of things and I told him I'd find some answers.
Thanks all.
Thanks all.

Files generally aren't dependent on the OS for "compatibility" - compatibility is determined at the application level. So a .PSD file created in photoshop can be opened by anything that supports .PSD files - whether the source was a mac or PC makes no difference.
To simplify, there's no difference between a "mac version" of a MS Word .doc file and "PC version" - they're the same file.
