Word 2002 - other users not able to open documents I create
I have a perfectly fine version of Office XP/2002 on my Win2K computer, and I
have no problems with it, nor with opening any .doc files. But, when I create a document and email it to someone as a .doc file, they are almost always unable to open it on their end, no matter if they are running Word 2000, 2002, or 2003. However, if I then open the document on a different computer running Word 2000, change something, save it again, and then email it - that person can then read the file fine. This has become a huge problem for me (I work in a small business), as it takes a lot of time out of my day to have to change computers or just convert the document to pdf before sending it. Any help or guidance to find a solution or workaround would be much appreciated. |

Word documents are renowned for corruption during emailing. Zipping them
