i just wondering are there any softwares can READ those file format(textedit can work but without graphics appeal,and sometimes the font and format changes significantly compare to original one ), i know there is a PC version on microsoft's website.
thanks alot.
There were once four people named Everybody, Somebody, Nobody and Anybody. Somebody had to do a job, but Nobody wanted to do it. Nobody could see that Anybody could do it, and Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody's job. Nobody ended up doing it, and it so happened that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.

For Powerpoint, MS has a Mac PowerPoint viewer - but from memory it doesn't run under OS X natively:

Some word processing apps, such as Nisus Writer Express, can work with native MS Word files too.
