The fact that the file could be opened from within Word on the PC proves that the file arrived in perfect condition -- this is not an encoding problem. My guess is that you did not name the file with the four characters .doc on the end of the file name. Windows expects file names to end with a period followed by up to three characters. Windows uses the characters after the period to determine what application should open the file when it is double-clicked. The .doc file name extension is used for Microsoft Word.
