can i use an excel workbook created in Mac on a PC and
vice-versa? thanks

Yes, with a few caveats...

MacXL98/01/v.X/04 and WinXL97/00/02/03 all share the exact same file
format so they can read each others files.

Some features, of course, are version specific or platform specific
(e.g., List Manager didn't exist in WinXL until XL03).

ActiveX controls work only on Win platforms. Both Mac and Win XL support
Forms controls.

MacXL VBA in all versions is version 5.0, equivalent to WinXL97.
Workarounds can be used to implement VBA6-only features in VBA5. In
addition, there are a few syntax differences between Win and Mac VBA,
mostly in the file handling commands.
