Executable means that the file has a series of instructions used to execute a program. Non-executable files are ones that do not have these instructions.
The most important steps are these: 1. write the source files 2. compile them to object modules 3. link the executable 4. run the executable
Executable files usually contain a header, which identifies it as an executable file, and a list of commands to be executed by the processor.

Therefore, Solaris does not run ".exe" files.

Only if you have an application on your MAC that is compatible with Excel and Word files. Most word processor programs have a way to import MS Word files and most spreadsheet programs can open MS Excel files. The best way to find out if your MAC has that capability is to try to open a file and see what happens.
Windows executable (.exe) files are programs that work with the Windows operating system and are not compatible with Macintosh computers.
