I have a user who is using Mac OS 10.2.8, Mail 1.2.5 and Word X. She e-mails files to PC users with Office 2003 and no one can open the Word documents she sends. I have found references to "Windows Friendly Attachments" in other posts yet I cannot find this option anywhere in her mail program. Any help or other ideas?
Word X will not display correctly

Ask her to make sure the save default is set simply as .doc and PCs shoukld be able to read Word X. Has she updated Word X at all from the Mactopia web site?
i had her save as .doc and .rtf and PC users are still unable to open her word documents in either format (default is .doc). it gives an file conversion / encoding message, and no matter which option they choose it opens unreadable. i am unsure if she has updated via mactopia. i will ask her.

Word X is getting long in the tooth and came without XML Converters and certainly Word 2007 and maybe 2003 will not read standard Word X documents.
