You are using fields to fill in information from your computer. If you send
those fields to a different computer, the fields will fill with information
from that computer: which in many cases, will mean that they blank out.
You need to convert those fields to their results before saving.
Go to Word>Preferences>View and set "Field shading" to "Always" so you can
see where they are.
Now select each one, and hit Command + Shift + F9 to convert it to ordinary
text.
Save your document, and email that. The field content now cannot change
regardless of which computer you send it to.

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Processor: Intel I am
using the trial version of Office 2008 to create and e-mail a resume. The
personal information for me is showing on the screen and when I print, but
when I e-mail the doc or docx versions the personal information is gone. I can
find nothing within Word that addresses this issue or anything about doing
something specific to keep your personal information in the resume, no matter
where or how it is used. Help!
