Sending Word attachments to AOL and/or Mac users

When I send an email from my Outlook to people who use aol
and to people who use a Mac, they can't open the .doc Word
or .xls Excel attachments. They get only a .dat file
which they can't open. What do I need to do as the sender
so they can open/read the attachments?

Zip the files so AOL doesn't mess with them.
