Attached Word documents corrupt

I have iMac OSX 10.4.11 and Tiger
I have Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac
When I send Word documents via email to my mum (on windows xp home & MS Office 2003) via yahoo mail, just recently she has said that when she opens my Word docs they are just full of barcodes. My word docs are saved as Word 97-2004 Document (.doc) and mums email is btinternet/outlook express
Is this something wrong with my end or hers, what could be going wrong?

Mac users using Word 2004 who receive a Word 2008 for Mac, (or Word 2007 for Windows) document, will not be albe to read this without having the Open XML Converter installed, which can be downloaded from Microsoft.
Go to this page:
http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads.mspx
and click on the right under Most Popular, 'Open XML File Format Converter for Mac 1.0'
This opens a window at the bottom of the page. Scroll that to the bottom and click on English.dmg, and it will download for you as a disk image, which can be installed in the usual way.
After installation you can open and read .xml formatted Word 2008 documents in Word 2004.
I would suggest that your Mum install this!

Unable to download attached Word document

I have two emails in my inbox with attached Word documents neither of which will download. I download documents all the time so am not doing anything wrong to get them to download. I have a Dell 1525 Inspiron running Vista. Mozilla is the browser
== This happened ==
Just once or twice
== an hour ago

My AOL emails won't print. This change occurred a few days ago when I did the last FireFox upgrade. The aspx extension appears to be the difference?

Hi,

Hi I want to attach word documents to yahoo mail app and some job portals using iPad I don't know how to attach it can u ppl help me thru this issue

would I be able to "upload" (not sure how else to say it) my existing folders and subfolders containing all my emails so that they are all available on my new IMAP service, while still being available on my Mac?
Not easily, no. There's no direct transfer option between POP and IMAP, especially across email providers. The best you could do would be to forward all of your emails to your new address, although it's not clear that you need to - dropping your sbcglobal.net account doesn't instantly render all your existing mail void - it'll still be in your Mail client, you can still read it, search it, etc., it just won't be on your provider's server.
I have toyed with the idea of getting a MobileMe account. Would that solve my issue/question above?
MobileMe would be viable, especially if you're interested in synching your various iOS devices. It's not free, of course, unlike Yahoo and Gmail, although you've already discounted them...
I have also toyed with purchasing my own URL, but it's hard to tell from the sites (1and1, Namecheap, etc.) if they come with IMAP email accounts included.
Some registrars offer email hosting bundles with a domain registration. This could be a good way to go. GoDaddy, for example, have a email hosting option for domains you register with them.

Attaching word documents

Whenever I attach a word document to a windows user, they are unable to open the document (I think they lose the extension).
Any suggestions?

First, make sure the file does have an extension before you attach.
Second, make sure the two options in Edit menu, Attachments are checked.
Third, format the email as Plain Text. Format menu, Make Plain Text.
There is really nothing else you can do to make Outlook work with the rest of the world. Outlook is pretty much only compliant with itself.

Use the following code to execute the native application to open your document. Example, if user click on a word document, this will open the document in Microsoft Word. If execl, will open the document in Microsoft Excel.
CALL METHOD CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES->EXECUTE
    EXPORTING
      DOCUMENT               = 'C:test.doc'
      MAXIMIZED              = 'X'
      SYNCHRONOUS            = 'X'
    EXCEPTIONS
      CNTL_ERROR             = 1
      ERROR_NO_GUI           = 2
      BAD_PARAMETER          = 3
      FILE_NOT_FOUND         = 4
      PATH_NOT_FOUND         = 5
      FILE_EXTENSION_UNKNOWN = 6
      ERROR_EXECUTE_FAILED   = 7
      OTHERS                 = 8.

Emailing Word files = corruption

Hello, My boss uses her Mail application to send emails, and recently when she attaches Word documents, the receipient says they are corrupted, most recently her attachment arrived looking like a QT file. I get these same attachments no problem, and I send Word docs no problem as well. I use Entourage for Mac. Wondering if anyone has any advice. I installed a new version of Word on her computer, but still no dice.
Any feedback would be much appreciated!
Thanks!

In Entourage> Preferences> Compose, are attachemnts set to encode for "any computer (AppleDouble)" or is encoding set for Windows (MIME), Unix (UUEncode), or Mac (BinHex)? If it's set for anything other than "any computer", try switching.

How do I save documents from the new Pages into a Word Document

How do I save documents from the new Pages into a Word Document?

Thank you so much - so simple! I had been using the 'share' option (worked in old Pages) and only had icloud or email as options. I have to attach word documents to emails to send to work. I don't want to use icloud because it's too public and I don't trust it. Also, you have to be able to access the internet and I need word documents on my USB stick for work where there's no internet.
I love my Mac but I do wish Apple would remember those of us living in less-than-perfect computer-land.
Thanks again
Lindsay

Can't open word documents in mail

I've recently converted to Mac at my home, however i still use a PC at work. I have installed the latest version of office for mac, however when i try to use either mail or entourage i find that i cannot open attached word documents. For my work i constantly send word documents from my office to my home computer, however i cannot seem to open any of these files.
I don't know if this means that i have a problem with the office i have just installed, my mail programs, or my general operating system?

Be sure you are saving your Word documents on the PC for a Word version supported by Office 2004 X. The latest version of Office for the PC uses a file format that is no longer compatible with older versions of Office.
PC attachments have icons that do not carry any information that Mac applications use to determine what application opens a document. Drag the document from the email application to the Desktop. Select the icon and press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the section labeled 'Open with' select Word from the drop down menu, then click on the Change All button. This should associate all similar documents to the Word application on the Mac. Word documents on the Mac also use the '.doc' extension. If the transferred file does not have the '.doc' extension then it doesn't hurt to add one.

Can't open word document in pages

Word document attached to email loading ca. 70% in Pages then pages closes down and can't get to open. Ideas?

Open the email with the attached Word document again. Then tap on the attached document. A menu will appear. Tap on the option that says "Open in Pages. If this doesn't work, try shutting off your iPad and then wait a minute or two and then turn it back on. Try to open the Word document again. Although I'm just speculating becuase, I have never had a problem opening a Word document in Pages and every time I open a Microsoft Word document in Pages, it just needs to change the font to a Pages- compatible font. I hope my solution works, and I'm sorry if it doesn't work.
