When I purchased a new laptop, I also purchased the Office Home and Student
2007. I have prepared and sent over 20 documents to several different e-mail
address and not one could be opened. What am I doing wrong?

You are not converting the documents to a format that earlier versions of Word can read.
When you go to save a document change the "Save as type" (just below the name you give the document)
to either,
RTF, PDF, or word 2000/XP
 
Or Save As - Word 97-2003 format.
Note too that those who cannot open your files will not have the new Word
2007 fonts either.

Thank you so much for your help. There is no option to save under the three
options you suggest, the closest is Word 97-2003, Word XML, Word 2003 XML and
Works 6.0, etc. I've tried all of these options, none work. ?

Testing the font situation, you are correct. My "." (periods) are changed to
"?"(question marks), wonderful. The time I spend perfecting my doc's are
manipulated during transit and appear unprofessional. Until the entire world
upgrades to Office 2007, which could take a few years since the older
versions are compatible, my business will be wiped out. Wouldn't be more
practical for me to uninstall 07, get a refund, and re-install my faithful
old version?
 
Word 97-2003 format is the standard document format used by earlier
versions?
