Word for Mac not opening in pc Polish version of Word

I have been going nuts trying to open MSWord files created on my iBook
on PCs that use the Polish version of MSWord. To make it more
confusing, I can open files created in the Polish version of Word in
Word on my Mac. Any suggestions? Does it have something to do with Word
for Mac not supporting foreign characters?

Word 2004 does support foreign characters, and if you can open WinWord files
on your Mac, than that couldn't be the problem anyhow.

More detail, please:

Have you tried all methods of opening? double-clicking, File | Open within
Word, and right-click Open With (if available?) None of them work?

What happens when it won't open? E.g., do you get a message, does it try to
open in a different program....

When you create the files on your Mac, do you set it to show the .doc
extension?

How are you transferring the files from computer to computer?

What version of WinWord and MacWord, and what OS on each?
