Hi davmax, depending on what the ‘receiving persons’ of your e-mail must be able to do with your document, I would suggest to send PDF files instead of MS Word documents. What if the receiver also doesn’t have MS Word? Maybe he will also see your carefully crafted MS Word document in a slightly(?) different way. And if the receiver doesn’t need to edit the document, you can definitely send a PDF file.
You should be able to let MS Word generate a PDF file.
