I am using Windows XP. I am using a word document that someone else created,
with five colums of information. i.e., name and address of company, type
business, phone number, contact person, and follow-up info. When it was
emailed to me, nothing stayed in the right column. When I try to "fix" it,
it stays aligned if I print the document, but when I email it, it gets all
messed up again. HELP. What can I do to prevent this from happening? And is
there a way to fix the messed up email copy with out too much work?

Are you trying to email this document as the body of a message? If so there
is no way you are going to get it to appear the same. Word Doc and email
HTML have entirely different constructions and formatting requirements
(check your document with Web view). Mailing documents as attachments has
another set of issues - see
