Re: office for mac issue- people can't open my word files when emailed

Are you sure you bought Office2004? if so before sending the file, use Finder's make archive to create a .zip of the file and send. have them save and open the zip. Then they should easily open the file.

If however you just bought Office, odds are you purchased Office2008.

In that case the file format has changed to a new XML based system with new extension designation of docx. In that case do save as of your newly created document and choose 97-2004 (doc) format. and do the above. Or save through Save As... as a PDF. If they don't need to edits and send anyway you want to.
