Default Word documents as Word Pad

My Word documents (from Word 2002) keep turning into Notebook or Word Pad
documents when I email them -- and they can't be opened on the other end. A
file will retitle itself from, for example. Hollywood Proposal.doc to
Hollywood_Proposal.doc. Any ideas?


The problem is in your email program, or possibly in your ISP's server, not in
Word.

Try zipping the document before attaching it to the email.
