Briefcase Asus

Anyone know if the Asus EEE PC (linux) can synchronise text files with Windows Office (Word)?
I’m thinking of buying an Asus EEE Pc to write on in cafes, but need to be able to synchronise changed files with my desktop PC each day. Currently I use Windows “briefcase” function and a USB pen to do this with my laptop, but the EEE PC runs Linux and Open Office, so I need to know if I could still sync between it and the desktop. Any ideas?
You can install Windows onto the Asus, however I would recommend trying something like Google Docs.
