Question Author
I have tried everything but nothing works. Its about time that the 'net got around this problem of formats and software. You should just be able to send a simple document file and let the PC work it out, not all this faffing about with files types. When I put petrol in my car, I don't have to look in the bloody handbook, in order to start the engine.
I have now copied what was in the Microsoft Works file, straight into the body of a new email. I only used Works in the first place, so that I could edit and use bold, underline, etc.
Thanks to everybody !
