my nephew has an imac g4. im looking at getting a usb floppy drive for his g4 and either mac office v.x or virtual pc with xp home.
he needs to format a floppy for pc format in the usb drive and exchange with pc's with office xp at school. which would be better for 100% file compatability between his g4 and office xp at school. with virtual pc with xp he'd be using office 97 professional. or is mac office x using powerpoint and word be better?

It would be better to use Office for Mac. Office in VirtualPC would be dog slow.
Nasrudin sat on a river bank when someone shouted to him from the opposite side: "Hey! how do I get across?" "You are across!" Nasrudin shouted back.

Use the mac version of office, it will work fine with Office XP on a PC. VPC is very slow.
