Can't see graphs in document

You could try "Quick Look". Highlight the file in the Finder and press the Space Bar. You could also try Open Office.

If all that fails, have the Windows friends make a PDF for you from the Word file.

Windows has a few graphics formats not supported by Mac OSX, such as .emf, probably the graphs are in an unsupported format.

OpenOffice is very compatible with MsOffice, if it opens the files correctly you might be able to copy and paste the graphs over. They will probably turn into .pdf graphics in the process.

Failing that make a screen snap of them using +command shift 4+ drag around the image and look for the subsequent file on your desktop.

I'd go back to source and see what the original graphs look like, what they look like when in MsWord, what they look like when saved as .pdfs and what they look like when copied and pasted or imported into any Windows application.

In my experience the problem is usually already there.

You might also be able to get your friends to send you the Excel files that the charts came from. The Excel charts should transform into Numbers objects when you open the Excel file in Numbers.
