Hello:
I have created 9 very basic Word documents using Word 2004 for Mac. Each was
created by simply opening a ³New² Word document, and using whatever the
default gave me a far as margins, etc. The only thing I modified was the
default font, which I changed to Courier, as I wanted these documents to be
as generic as possible.
None of these documents spans more than 9 pages, and none of them contain
anything ³exotic², such as Headers, Footers, or Page Breaks. This is RAW
TEXT, as raw as one can get with a standard ³New² document in Word 2004 for
Mac.
My intent is to email these documents from my home (via Comcast Broadband)
to where I work (which uses a T-1 line) and open them on a Pee Cee using XP
and Office 2003.
I have done a Compatibility Check on each document prior to emailing them.
All report ³No Compatibility Errors² (or some such BS.)
Of the 9 that I email, 2 continually arrive as somehow ³unreadable² on my
Pee Cee. These two have nothing about them that would make them ³different²
from the rest. In other words, there are no charts, or graphs, or tables, or
embedded .jpgs, or anything else that should differentiate them from the
other 7 documents; they¹re JUST TEXT. The 2 that arrive as unreadable,
always ask me if I want to use some sort of translating device to make them
readable, with some sort of Japanese filter being the default. When I say,
³Yes, use the Japanese default filter², I get a message box that says
(surprise!) something about not being able to decode something-or-other. No
matter what other filters I choose, I get the same BS.
I have tried sending these two problematic files as Windows .txt files, but
that also gives me no joy.
All I want to do is to email these 9 files to where I work and have all of
them open so I can send them to a HP Color Laser Printer. Because they¹re
all based on the same document when you select ³New², shouldn¹t they all act
the same?
Ironically, the one document that contains two tables that were originally
created in Excel for Mac 2004 and copied/pasted in the Word document are
readable and print flawlessly.
What is causing these two simple 9 page Word documents to not be readable by
the Pee Cee when all of their other 7 brothers seem to be so willing to
cooperate...?
If you care to help, I¹d be eternally grateful!
