If the converter doesn’t work, then you got to try to copy (Control+ A, then Control + C) and paste (Control + P) into Wordpad or Notepad and email it again. They should be able to open Wordpad or Notepad, if not that’s because they are using a Mac and you are using a PC.</p> <p>If you think the file get corrupted during email, you can always zip it with Winzip or Winrar and send it along that way. </p> mysticgeek on "email attachments??why i can't just open, even mailing it to myself??" http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/email-attachmentswhy-i-cant-just-open-even-mailing-it-to-myself#post-4228 Fri, 16 Nov 2007 19:11:26 +0000 mysticgeek 4228@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>What is the file extension of this document? You created in Works? It should have something like "document.WPS" or "document.WKS" extension. I would copy and past the document into WORD or convert it into a PDF. </p> blueyedblond1956 on "email attachments??why i can't just open, even mailing it to myself??" http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/email-attachmentswhy-i-cant-just-open-even-mailing-it-to-myself#post-4220 Fri, 16 Nov 2007 17:18:52 +0000 blueyedblond1956 4220@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I was on here before I have a new question, on my acer 5100 laptop i have adobe reader 8, and Abbyy fine reader 6 which came with the system i don't know if this is important but the other day i was trying to copy a document to the computer, change it and then with the changes send it somewhere...it asked about defauft programs...anyway i'm a little confused, now i am trying to email an attachment a document i typed in my microsoft works program to a reputable place and she said that it wouldn't open when i sent it to myself i can't open it, it says: C:\\users\blue...\appdata\local\microsoft\windows<br /> temp internet file format may not be supported by one of the installed converters....bla bla bla...now i ca't open it but i can save it, it goes to downloads and then open it...did i change where it can open to or something could someone please help me. </p>
