I have been developing templates in Word for a client but this time around
the templates are to be emailed to people as Entourage or Outlook documents
which can be edited in Word by the recipients.
The client¹s client has sent us such a document as a word.doc (created on a
PC) and it sends beautifully as an Entourage document. However, the one I
created using Word 2001 (Mac) looks really good when opened in Web page
preview (except that the top picture which is edge to edge in Word shrinks
by several centimetres left and right in Explorer), but it looks dreadful
when sent as an Entourage document. For instance the document consists of a
large table with invisible borders, but in Entourage all the borders are
black and the formatting is generally askew.
I have tried amending the client¹s word.doc and that still works fine in
Entourage. The setup of my Mac created document is generally the same. What
can I be doing wrong? Can this send as email feature only work on PC-created
documents? Does the document have to be created as an html document before
it will work in Entourage? If so, how can the recipients edit it?
I hope I don¹t sound too confused (though I am!) - or that someone can
understand what the problem is, and how to fix it.
Thanks for any help

PS my client hopes to send the document as a template so that the original
does not get changed.
