Well first it's NOT the OS that is compatible with the files it's the
applications running on that OS. MS Office files, yes there are
applications you can use: StarOffice, highly compatible to MS Office; then
there are some command line tools to rip off the chunk from Office files
and use them as text files. MS Paint no idea; if they are using a non
standard format (very very likely; why using standards?) then you might be
unlucky.
Second, break your lines at 72, better 68 characters.
