for a while, pc people could not read my mac word documents simply
because i had not added the ".doc" extension to the files. as far as
compressing, i use dropstuff
(http://www.aladdinsys.com/dropstuff/index.html), which works great
in conjunction with stuffit expander.
Aladdin now makes a free download called DropZip which works like
DropStuff but is better for sending files from Mac to PC.
I agree that Mac users should first and foremost never forget to add
the correct 3 letter extension... Mac Word does not have an
option to export,
and will not save as a pdf which is the ideal cross platform format.
If adding
the 3 letter extension does not help (and trying the extension + compression
also fails), you'd probably have to save as RTF...
