I’ll get straight to it. I’m a newbie.

Let’s say I have this file I have created in windows, moved it to an ntfs drive, then in an exfat drive to then an hfs+ drive… if I then take said file and do the same only backwards (hfs+, exfat, ntfs) … will it open the same way it did before or will some of its integrity be lost along the way?

I recently bought a mac a want to make sure that if i ever transfer back files that were originally created in an NTFS environment that they will open/look the same way they did before they were transferred to multiple formats along the way. (ie excel sheets)

I sure hope this all makes sense … at least a little :)

Thank you very much, From a scared newbie.
