Ello! I have Microsoft Word 2007, and it works perfectly fine on my computer. However, If I ever email it or transfer it likewise, the document turns into a bunch of symbols. As a side note, the computer that I transfer to has Word 2003. It might have something to do with it, but I'm not sure.
Thanks!
