Default .doc vs .docx

If you are e-mailing the document, as the body of a message, then you should
be aware that the formatting requirements for html e-mail and Word document
are entirely different. HTML does not use margins nor even pages. You can
view the finished result of what you would be sending in Web layout view. If
you want the recipient to receive a similar appearance to your Word document
send it as an attachment. If you want it to be received *exactly* as you see
it, send it as a PDF format attachment (for which you will probably need
additional software. There's a free PDF download tool for Word 2007.

If you are pasting into a web form it is probably better to paste it into
Notepad first and reformat there.

Does the Word file, .doc or .docx, affect the format of the recipient,
message? The problem is this, recipient (me) receives a jumbled
internet email document. To verify how the document will look when
received as an internet email, I begin with
sending the Word document (.doc/.docx) to recipient (me) internet
email. The document form is (always jumbled in appearance). Then,
fix the individually jumbled email margins and resend the same
document from me to the recipient (me). The margin changes are lost
and repeatedly revert back to the same jumbled document.

Thank you, Michele

Save the file in whatever format you know your recipient can read.

Compose your email message in your email program, and click "Attach."
Browse to the file and select it.

Send.

Are you smarter than a 5th-grader?

email...What format is compatible? Is it possible to accomplish
this task from a .doc or .docx ? Please respond on a 5th grade

Thank you, Michele
