FileMaker files are cross platform as built, most of the time. After you've built the solution on one platform is really not the time to ask how to bring it to the other. The time is before you begin, because there are some things to keep in mind when building a cross platform solution. Fonts often work out just a little different, so if you build a solution on the Mac, you should allow for a little extra room for the text, which is usually larger on Windows. There are a lot of little tips like this to keep in mind as you develop, I'm afraid, not after.

Having said that, you should be able to open the files on a Windows version of FileMaker without trouble, take a look at where there is a problem with the look of things and fix them. There's no short cut once the solution has been built. At least, none that I know of.
