Shaun, If you change the document to plain text and e-mail it, they will get it in plain text, without the formatting, selected fonts, etc. It will be much smaller, as James says, but you will have removed the presentation formatting.
If you want to keep this formatting and still be able to easily read your Word .doc files in VoiceOver, follow Anne's instructions on reading rich text format in TextEdit: <excerpted from her post> When I open a .doc file in TextEdit, the first thing I hear is "Styles: menu button". I do "Go to last item" (VO-Shift-FN-Right arrow, then I interact with the text and can read the document. The whole document can be read at once by pressing VO-a. Keep the document in RTF just as it is from Word, and make any modifications in RTF.
