Default document format changes on it's own

I creat documnet in legal paper format. When I send them to other people in
my office the file open on two letter size pages. How do I correct this? It
only happen at certain workstations, not all.

The problem is most likely that the receivers see the document in Reading
Layout. If they open the attachment directly from the e-mail (instead of
saving it first, e.g. on the desktop, and opening it from there), the
document will open in Reading Layout if the users have the setting "Allow
starting in Reading Layout" in Tools Options General tab turned on (it is
turned on by default in Word 2003). Ask them to turn off that setting or ask
them to save the document elsewhere and open it from there and see whether it
solves the problem.

If the users save the document, it will open in the view with which it was
last saved (by you or somebody else).
