MS Word doc. attachment converts to HTML

[radler7469]

I'm having trouble emailing a word doc from my mac to a PC. Whenever
the recipent receives the attachment, it's no longer a word document,
and instead the following link appears: http://shell.windows.com/fileassoc/0409/xml/redir.asp?EXT=07.
Originally received the doc. as an attachment from another PC. Renamed
it onto my sysem and redlined it. Then proceeded to email it back to
the originating PC with the redlined changes (and without them). Can't
understand why the document is being converted into this link???

How are you emailing it? If from Word, are you using File | Send To |
Mail Recipient (As Attachment)?

What email program? What version of OS, Word and email program?

I'm emailing it by starting out in either mac email or aol email and
then attaching the document to the email, checking the box to send as
"windows friendly attachments". My verison is MAC OS X 10.4.48 and
microsoft program is Office: mac student and teacher edition (2004)

You seem to be mailing it correctly. Try these two things to chop the
problem up into bite size chunks. I suspect the recipient is on a
paranoid corporate mailserver that quarantines every attachment and
which then goes on to mangle it.

1. Use the same procedure to mail it to yourself.
2. Zip the .doc before attaching it (ctrl-click on the doc, choose
create archive of..)

PS I like your "redlined changes" to describe track changes mode. Can I
nick it?

Thanks. I tried to zip the doc, following your instructions, but when
I control click on the doc, I don't have that option. I can only
paste, font, paragraph, bullets and numbering, lookup and hyperlink as
options

What Elliott was suggesting is that you Ctrl+Click the doc icon in a a
Finder window. IOW, ou can't zip the file while it is _open_ or from within
Word. Try it this way for practice:

In Word use File>Save As to save a copy to the Desktop, then close the file,

Locate the copy on the desktop, Control+Click _it_ to create the zipped
file,

Send the zipped file via email.
