Hi James and Shaun, The .doc file can be sent as an attachment. I think that if you want to save the format and default font options from a Word document in TextEdit, you can just use the existing document as a pattern, use item chooser menu to navigate to the "Styles" button and arrow down to "other". Then you can type in a name for this style and add it to your favorites. When you start editing a new document in TextEdit, you can use command-shift-t to turn a plain text document to rich text, and if you navigate to the "Styles" button and now find your newly named style you should be able to apply these formatting defaults for font, alignment, line spacing, etc. to the document. I haven't really done much with rich text in TextEdit, so someone else can probably tell you how to use all these TextEdit options and what works.
