Tell him to save as an .RTF (rich text format) file and import
this into PC Word. This usually gets round all such problems.

He might get the wong fonts on the PC but, providing he has
done most of his formatting using styles, this should be easy to 
correct.  Winword also allows you to search and replace fonts
and other formatting but it is preferable simply to correct
the format font entries in the styles.
