Recipients cannot open it as windat.doc file type. I am sending word.doc
files. Why are they converting? How do I stop them from changing? Help???
 
Yes, it is win.dat. How do I fix the problem of word files arriving to
recipients as win.dat files when attached to email using Office 2000 Outlook?
Can you help?

Yes, it becomes win.dat. Why? How can I attach a "word.doc" file
successfully? I'm using Office 2000 Word. Can you help?
