I need to transfer my Microsoft Office Word documents (2003) from my PC to my MBP (2010, Snow Leopard). I have word documents and pictures. I need to transfer my word docs keeping the format, columns, images, font, etc to my MBP.
I also need to create documents on both computers and transfer them freely.

The 'geniuse' in Mac shop suggested I buy Pages, but the reviews are not too good.

The other Mac Office package I can buy is expensive but especially has things I do not need.

Any suggestions or advice is welcome.
 
Spam? :)
No, not Spam and thanks for previous answer. I am not a techie. I did not do anything at the time of your answer. The MS Office seems expensive and the genius suggested I go for Pages. Any thoughts?

PS. I see what you mean. I accidentally posted in Mac Mini, my fault.

Only those from my previous post. You might find a better response by putting this sort of request in the Mac applications or Mac basics sub folders. It's not really related to a MacBook Pro. Maybe then more general Mac users would see it?
Why not try one of the free ones and see how you get on?
