Emailing Word documents

[jkostiuk]

Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel

I am trying to email word or excel documents to windows users, and each time they are unable to open. Is there a way to make the documents compatible with windows office programs, so that a windows user can receive the documents i have created in my apple?

Three key ingredients:

Always use filename extensions
Zip any attachments
Make certain that your email software uses the correct encoding

If you need it, more detail is available on this widely discussed topic if
you search for it

It's also possible that the Windows users do not have the [free] OXML
Converters installed. These are necessary to open the Office 2008 native
files if they're using a version of Office prior to 2007.
