Emailed documents don't look right
Whenever I try to email a Word document with Outlook the email doesnt look
like the original. The text might be spaced out too much or overlapping. Is there a way to send a document by email and have it retain all the original appearances? |

Are you sending the document as an email attachment or as an HTML email?

The appearance will depend on the recipient's printer driver; see

Why on EARTH would a document's view depend on a PRINTER driver? Who thought that one up? Is this another crazy example of MS developers not communicating with each other? A PDF looks the same on any machine, whether Windows, MAC or Linux. Why can't a Word document do the same? (Obviously not on Linux. ;-) ) |

Microsoft programs aren't the only ones that can changed depending on
printer drivers. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "Gordon" wrote in message ... "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

As explained in the article, one of the original goals of Word for Windows
was to be as WYSIWYG as possible, especially in Print Preview. This is possible only if the view represents what the user can expect to print on the currently selected printer. -- Suzanne S.

OK I accept that the print preview view should depend on the printer drivers installed, but the normal view shouldn't.... |

Normal view is not especially WYSIWYG, but I suspect that when you say "the
normal view," you are referring to Print Layout view. Most users would disagree since most are not accustomed to laying out pages in Print Preview; if Print Layout view were not WYSIWYG, it would be impossible to lay out complex pages with any confidence. -- Suzanne S.

I would say: deal with it as a word document. Then save it normally, and
*attach* it to an email. "Pat S." wrote in message ... Whenever I try to email a Word document with Outlook the email doesnt look like the original. The text might be spaced out too much or overlapping. Is there a way to send a document by email and have it retain all the original appearances? |

(Obviously not on Linux. ;-) ) PDF is a form of *graphic* image--that text has been frozen and is not editable in the same way that the Word document is. PDF stands for Portable Document Format, and was designed from the ground up to be able to exchange electronic documents without them changing. Word was designed to produce printed documents, and to be editable by many different people. -- Daiya Mitchell, MVP Mac/Word Word FAQ: http://www.word.mvps.org/ MacWord Tips: http://word.mvps.org/Mac/WordMacHome.html What's an MVP?

Are you sending it as an email or as an attachment? If you send as an
attachment, you will be sending the actual Word document. If you send it in the body of the email, the formatting depends on your choice of default mail format. -- Suzanne S.
