What file extension is it? You can always open it in notepad, but you will probably loose some formatting.

Microsoft Word is available on Macs and so if you save your file under it, it will be the exact same as when you bring it over to a Windows PC running Word.

Thats actually the main point. If the file has extension .doc (Microsoft word extension) then you can open it up with MS word or Open Office in any windows machine. If it is a simple text file with .txt extension then you can open it up with notepad or wordpad.

I too am considering an ibook and when I called the apple questions line they said that with their new word equivalent program that I would have no problems transfering a file.
I also had a question, I heard that some of my music files from my current pc might not transfer to an apple. Something to do with the fact that they are WMV or WMA.
Is this true?

There's a version of Windows media player for OSX. There are also quicktime plugins/conversion programs that let you handle them.
