How to prevent Word doc created in OS X from zipping up when emailed?

Recently upgraded to G5 iSight running Tiger 10.4.11.
I frequently email Word docs to co-worker who runs Windows XP on a PC.
When he gets the Word files, they have been zipped and he is annoyed b/c it takes 11 clicks to get to the point where he can save the Word doc to his desktop.
I've tried both Office 2004 and Office:Mac Word OSX. Compatibility checks out ok. Tried saving Word as .rtf and it still zipped it up. I am using the Mail program on my iSight. I select "send windows friendly attachment".
Is there a way for him to receive Word.doc that he can open up easily and then save without having to unzip, etc.

Recently upgraded to G5 iSight
There is no Apple computer called a G5 iSight. Please clarify what you have.
I select "send windows friendly attachment".
Try and Deselect/uncheck that.
If you have further questions regarding the Mail app, you should probably post htem in the Mail and Address Book forums:

  • How to setup word docs, converted to PDF on local drive with links to a second file at a page

    how to setup word docs, converted to PDF on local drive with links to a second file at a page
    Need to setup a set of word documents, converted to PDF that has links from one file to a second file at a given page.
    I would like to setup a set of pdf documents, on the hard disk of a PC or Mac, that can be open with acrobat pro running on the same computer and have the link jump to, and open in a new window, in acrobat pro, to a given page of a second document in the set.
    Is there a way to setup a link in word and the conversion to pdf that will result in a link that is equivalent to the acrobat link type  you get when you add a link of the type Go to a page in another document?
    Tools-Advanced Editing-Link tool, make a box
    Check: Go to page view, Next (Create go to view dialog opens)
    Open second document and go to page
    Click “Create go to view dialog” to set up link
    Result is a link, when view by link properties, with an action of
    Go to a page in another document
    File: C:\My Documents\second file.pdf
    Page: 43
    Zoom level: Custom
    I got close but did not solve the problem:
    I have a version that uses links to a website, using #page=43 at the end of the hyperlink.
    That works but will only open to the page if is through the web browser, opening the acrobat reader plugin.
    I need to open from a folder on the local harddisk (with relative links), in acrobat pro to the given page of the pdf, on a PC or a Mac.
    I could bookmark each page “pagenumberxxx” and jump to the bookmark/page if that would get around some problem
    Current Systems in use to create documents with links and view them:
    Windows XP SP3
    Word 2003 SP3
    Acrobat 9 pro version 9.4.4
    Or just to view them:
    Mac OS 10 Lion version 10.7.4
    Acrobat 9 pro version 9.5.1
    (note I have limited understanding of Mac’s)

    No.  There seems to be no automated way to do it.  You can of course go into the PDF and manually add links after you have converted to PDF, but that is what we want to avoid having to do.  We want it to be automatic from the Word doc.

    You can't create an iCloud account on a PC. You must create the account on a Mac running Lion or newer, or an IOS device.

  • Developing a 2 page form, username on the 1st page, password on 2nd how can i force FF to use the username from previous page when it asks to remember acct info?

    I am developing a 2 page signup form, where the person enters their username on the 1st page and password on the 2nd.
    When I test the form, FF asks to remember my password for the site - however it thinks the zipcode (field above the password) is the username on the account.
    I have tried to put their username/email in a hidden field on the 2nd page, just above the password field - and that did not work.
    How can i force FF to use the username from previous page when it asks to remember acct info?

    This website is using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving and filling the name and password.
    You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save names and passwords and other form data.

  • How to secure word docs, access only via username and password?

    I have created a CMS (Content Management System) where
    residents can access publicly made available word documents
    uploaded via the web by authourised members of a residents
    association. (no password needed)
    password only needed to upload
    I have also created a section for excecutive members only
    where documents for coming meetings are kept, but are not yet
    available to general residents. (password is needed to view these)
    All works fine apart from the executive section, all the
    documents seem to get 'spidered' no matter what is in the robot.txt
    file.
    this i know as i have been tracking visitors to it.
    the pages are not yet live or in use as i want to be sure
    that these 'not for public viewing' file are not viewed until they
    are in the public folder.
    each section will have their own folder, but google has
    'spidered' all pages! it seems that google and other sites are not
    taking notice of the robot.txt, i have read on some sites that this
    is common. how they do this is beyond me, i though that you could
    only spider a site that had a home page and that you follow all
    links contained within this initial page.? seems that this is not
    the case.
    what other methods can i try out that will protect these
    files.
    (please do not reply with, do not put them on the site!) i
    have had this with other forums in the past.
    only sesible answers please.
    and thank you in advance for your time.

    i have been busy looking around but not finding anything.
    My PHP scripts at present accept the word docs and store them
    in folders, lets say, www.site.com/secretfolder/...
    One suggestion is to have them in a database, this is not
    idea, but is going to be the last resort.
    the idea i like most is to have the outside the root www
    folder.
    what i am not sure of is how i allow access to them if normal
    access can not be used. i.e. www.site.com/myfolder/file.doc
    one way that has been suggested is streaming but this
    completely eludes me, i first thought streaming was for sound and
    video, but that aside, please can someone provide some links to
    sites that show some examples or more information on how i do this.
    i do not need the file to be uploaded as i can change my
    scripts to upload to the new folder that is outside the root www
    folder, what i do not understand is how i get the file back from
    this outside root folder to the user that is wanting to view it.
    my way of thinking is to create a temp folder inside the www
    folder but this means that the files will then be available to the
    robots again and if i was to have the folder cleaned after the file
    is taken what happens if the server or the persons pc was to crash
    or something, then the script will not complete and the file will
    still be available to view by the robots.
    or is their another way

  • How to get pages docs created on a macpro to show up on iPad and iPhone both with ios5

    Yesterday (October 19, 2011) I updated to the latest OS's and pages app on my macpro and ipad2 and iphone3gs. When I create a pages doc on the macpro and save it I do not see it appear on the ipad2 and iphone3gs at all including within the pages docs window. Yet my iCalendar updates beautifully across all three devices. My question is what are the steps to get a pages doc created on a macpro to "automatically" become available and thereon update automatically in pages on my ipad and iphone?

    on Mac OS X there is no icloud enabled apps at this time. iWork09 for Mac wont sync your data to iCloud.
    To get documents to the cloud and thus to your IOS5 devices you need to visit www.icloud.com/iwork and manually upload your files  ( or use drag and drop from Mac Desktop to the browser ).
    This is no joke. Spreaded all over this support forums you find people that wondered how to do it until it was found out that iwork syncing is only enabled on iOS but not on OSX.

  • Re: How to open Word Doc in e-mail attachment

    I use iworks '09. I received an e-mail with a MS Word attachment that I was unable to open-stated "this document was created with an unsupported version of Word.  Must I buy MS Office for Mac.  Or will NeoOffice or Open Office open the file?

    I ditched MS Office over two years ago for NeoOffice and it has been able to open every word doc's or pps that have come my way.

  • How to delete a Word doc that won't highlight from Finder sidebar

    I have a Word 'doc' in the sidebar in Finder which no longer either highlights or opens (it used to). I would like to delete it. If I double tap it I get: Open Sidebar Preferences which doesn't help. I have tried Command and both command and option and, because it will not even select (i.e. highlight) I can't drag it to trash or delete it. Any ideas how to delete it? I have successfully removed other Word docs from the sidebar.

    CMD-Drag, works for me.

  • How to load word .doc-files into java applications?

    Hi,
    I want to load a word .doc-file (or any other type of document) into a java application, as part of the application.
    Is there any java special library to do it?
    Any solution or hint?
    Thank you.

    No, there is no existing Java library to do it that I am aware of. You could write your own, however, as the Word 97 binary file format is published. I am not sure that the Word 2000, or XP formats are as well, but since they put out the 97 presumably they'd do the same with the rest -- although I am suprised that Micro$$$oft even published the 97 format.
    A library such as this would take quite some time write, due to the extensive format, but here's a link to a copy of it just so you can see what it'd take: http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/~bob/Tech/wword8.html
    Also keep in mind that Micro$$$oft has never remained binary compatable between versions. In short, this means that you'd have to parse each version's documents differently. Not a fun task.
    If a Java library to read Micro$$$oft file formats already does exist, I'm willing to bet that it costs $$$ mucho dinero $$$.
    Hey, aren't proprietary file formats just wonderful?

    i whant a pice of code that will help me to store word doc in oracle9i please do > this for me Nope, imagine we are consultants who just provide you with a direction to your
    investigation.
    There's a few approachs...
    1. You store the entire word document ( or any arbitrary binary file ) in a BLOB
    field. ( binary large object ).
    Have a search for Oracle, JDBC and BLOB.
    2. You somehow extract the text from the Word document, losing all formating,
    and store the text in a database field. ( CLOB ) Character large object.
