Hello...

You can use openoffice.org which is installed in ubuntu to read MS office files.. To import files from windows to ubuntu

you can mount your windows partitions into ubuntu ref:

Also, consider installing Open Office on all windows computers as well and then you can work with native file formats and not have to convert back and forth. Until MS adopts open standards office should be avoided (IMHO).

Can you help with this problem?
