What version of Office/Word is used on the Macbook? If it's Word 2004, and
she's saving .docx out of World 2007, then the docs won't open; she'll need
to save them with a .doc rather than.docx extension.

If the Macbook is running Word 2008, they should open fine.

Another possibility is that she's using Word 2007 on a Windows partition on
the Macbook -- is this the case?
