It seems, that when i Email word attachments, recipients cannot open them,
because they have been compressed. I dont have any 3rd party programms which
do that, just regular office 2000. Does anyone know?

There is nothing in Word or Office that compresses Word documents when they
are attached to an email message.  Is it all recipients?  Exactly what
message do they get when they try to open the attachments?  Can they open
them if they save them first, then use File>Open in Word to open them?  If
you email one to yourself, can you open it?

Hope this helps.

Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my

AOL auto-compresses to zip files, I think.

Though i have a different browser, I will check and see if that's it.  I just
received an email back from a friend who couldn't open a JPEG, because it had
converted it into a winmail.dat... Maybe a different issue.
Thanks for your help though.

Compressing attachments might also be a setting of your email client software.

Good Luck |:>)
