I've found the opposite to work best. I (using MSWord for Windows) exchange
regularly documents with people using Macs. If we transfer the files in
Mac-format, no pictures survive the transfer. Transferring documents in
MSWord for Windows format only shows some color/pattern mistakes. The text
and formatting works perfectly in either format.
