My wife regular creates Word files using Word for Mac 2008 and emails them to clients and others in her office. She saves these files in the .doc format to help reduce compatibility issues. However she periodically receives feedback that the file cannot be opened. Sometimes she is told she did not send them a Word file. In all cases she has saved the file as a .doc file and has also included .doc in the file name.
She has also tried converting these files to a .pdf before sending them. She frequently has people tell her that these files cannot be opened either.
It's a sporadic problem and there doesn't seem to a consistent cause.
She emailed one of these .doc files to others in her company yesterday. They were all able to open the file. One of the employees sent the file to a client and the client was not able to open the file. My wife attempted to send the file directly to the client and they were still not able to open it. Why would others in the company have been able to open the file on a pc but their client could not?
Any thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Kevin
