Well, what is the original format you are trying to convert from? And, do
you have MS Word?

Tom Willett asked what format it is currently in. If you are not sure,
either just double-click the file to open it and tell us what application it
opens in. Or give us the full filename, including the 'dot' part, as .pdf,
..doc, .docx, .rtf, etc.

If you send your recipients an .rtf file, they should not have any problem
opening it using Word.
