Why are Word (2003) NOT transferrable as attachment ?It occured several times that when I attached a Word 2003 document to an eMail this document
was NOT readable at the recipients side. Other colleagues reported the same problem. When I zipped the document resp. converted it to pdf there was no problem reading it. Do other users noticed the same problem ? What is the reason ? Are there curious control characters inside ?

Lots of cross-posts, all of them inappropriate. State which
mail client you use (Outlook? Outlook Express?), then post your question in that newsgroup.

If you are sending the document as a Word 2003 native format, and your recipient only has Word 97 installed, they might not be able to read the file. The easiest solution is to have the recipients install the FREE Word 2003 viewer (they can view but not edit the document) Personally, I won't open a Word document that is sent to me since it could have malicious macros or scripts embedded in it. I send and accept PDF files only. Ciao . . . C.Joseph "When hope is lost . . . the spirit dies." -- Lao Tzu http://blog.tlerma.com/
