If the Mac has Word installed it can read a Word .doc file - although there are variations between different versions of Word which may cause problems. Even without Word the Mac's TextEdit application can read basic .doc files. There are free applications, such as Open Office (or Neo Office), which provides a high level of compatibility with Word. If the document is only to be read, and not edited on the Mac, then saving it as a .pdf will ensure that the Mac sees the document, with all its formatting, as intended.

How do you open a Microsoft Word document if you don't have the same version of Word as the document was saved in?

If the machine you send it to is using a newer version of Word than was used in the original document, the newer version will be able to read the older version. If, however, you are sending the document to a machine with an older version of Word, you will want to first save that document in the version of the machine that will be reading it. Choose "save as" instead of "save." From the drop-down menu below the file name, choose the version of Word that matches the destination machine. You can also use an online viewer like ajaxdocumentviewer.com and link your word document. So anyone without even word version can then view it from there.
