Maintain Format when I send a MS Word document by E-mail
I send a report from A Family Tree software to MS Word. When I send this
report by e-mail on Outlook Express the format is not maintained when it is received. The attachment reads OK when I view it in my e-mail file. How can I send this report and maintain the Format? |

Hi Charles,
What formatting changes are you especially concerned about? There may be different issues: -- View, zoom, formatting marks on/off, ... are controlled by the = receiver (which I consider a GoodThing=E2=84=A2). -- If you don't use standard fonts, the fonts may be missing on the = recipient's machine, and other fonts may be substituted. Some fonts can = be embedded, but that can create other problems (such as the receiver = not being able to edit the document). -- The printer driver can have some influence on line and page breaks = and the layout (because Word only creates stuff the printer driver can = handle, and that may be different for different printers, or even = different drivers for the same printer). -- If the receiver uses a lower version of Word, or WordPad, or another = text processor, that program may not be able to handle some new = features. You might consider creating a PDF file if you have access to Adobe = Acrobat, or try some web service or freeware to create a PDF. You get = more or less pictures of your pages, which you cannot easily change/edit = any longer, but which also don't change the way a Word doc does.
