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.

I have a similar issue before, in my case it was that Microsoft Work (.wps) can’t be open in Microsoft Word. 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.

If you think the file get corrupted during email, you can always zip it with Winzip or Winrar and send it along that way.

Well after great thought i figured it out it can type a document using wps works word processing but save the document as a rich text format then when you email it as an attachment you can open it up in wordpad fine or save it as a download and then open....so thanks for your help Peterofnj and mystic geek...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Nancy
