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.
Cheers,
Esther

Ah I see. It will change it within Text Edit, but I think then yowl
have to save it as if you want to E Mail it as text and then
retain it as plain text when the recepient gets it.

What I was asking if pressing they key combo you mentioned will
change the document to plain tecxt for good unless I change it. So
I change the .doc file to pplain text and e-mail tit, will they get
it in plain text or .doc?

What do you mean? If you attach a plain text file, it will be much
smaller than a .doc file, as there is no complex formatting or
fonts etc
Hope this helps

Have you tried restarting VO? Also, if you press Command Shift
T, it will turn the .doc file into plain text, and vice versa
back to RTF.
Hope this helps

Listers any clue on how to make my .doc files read in Text
Edit? .txt files open just fine, but .doc files just say new
line and nothing is read.
