This is easier if you actually ask a question and also provide a bit of detail. What kind of document file? text file? image file? MS Word file? Open Office file? How are you trying to transfer the file? How are you trying to open the file? What applications are you using?

Please keep in mind linux and windows use different file systems. Windows NTFS, Linux ext3.

A linux system can use any number of filesystems natively: ext2, ext3, reiserfs3, reiserfs4, xfs, jfs, etc. Linux systems can also use something like the ntfs-3g userspace driver to mount NTFS partitions that can then be read and written to. A Windows system also might be using VFAT32 filesystem, as well.
