if they don't need to edit it.. send it them as a PDF.. OSX should do that out the box.. and u can dl sommat called "PDFCreator" for Windoze that'll let you print to PDF.
If they *do* need to edit it ... then.. um.. i'll shutup and go away. ........................... lovely cloakroom. lovely cloaks - barbam nondum video |

I'm using a PB and exchange DOCs with PC users every day - never had this problem.
Which version of Word have you got installed, which version of Word has he got installed? ........................... Dawn appeared, fresh and rosy fingered |

aye me too, my version on the mac has a little button which you can press to check compatibility with any other version of word.. it always comes back saying it is fine though so I don't even bother anymore. |

If he's using some rather old version of word, that could be it - try having him download the free word document viewer for windows from the microsoft homepage... you could always go with JonnySpeeds sensible solution otherwise
