Emailing Word 2007 documents to others

[Leanne]

If I'm attaching my Word 2007 document to an email, I save it in the 97-2003
version. Even when I do this, the person who receives the attachment sees
the document all wonky and funnily spaced.

I don't know why this is happening.

Thanks for the info! However, I tend to use Arial. Maybe I should try Times
New Roman 10?

There are a number of factors which could be involved, including the
settings of your email software & the fact that the recipient most likely
has a completely different printer/driver.

If you want them to see your document as designed send a PDF instead of a
Word document as the attachment. If they need to be able to edit what you
send them, send *both* a PDF & the doc. In either case Zip the file(s)
before attaching.

Thank you. I will try this method next time.
