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? |

Try zipping the document before attaching it to the email. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

Word documents as Word Pad
It is most unlikely that your documents have turned into anything other than
documents. They *may* have been corrupted in transit, but the likelihood is that recipient is opening the attachments directly from the e-mail message (always bad practice) and the file associations are wrongly configured. Suggest to your coorespondent that either the message is saved to the hard drive and opened from Word or See how to re-register Word when problems crop up opening files http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/ReRegisterWord.htm and if that doesn't fix it select a document in Windows Explorer, right click and choose Open with... From the ensuing dialog select Word (winword.exe) and check the box to always open with this application. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Misterfleming wrote: 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.
