I'm running Word 2001 on my Wallstreet (sys 9.1). When I send Word attachments to non-Mac users (yeah, dark-siders), most of the time they claim they can't open them-and, often can't.
1) Make sure the checkbox for 'add extension' is checked in the save file dialog. If it doesn't have '.doc' on the end a PC doesn't know what it is.
2) what's your e-mail client? OS X Mail adhered to standards too rigorously, and many Windows clients cannot properly sort out the attachments. Sending the file as a .zip or .sit file will fix this. I don't know of any clients on OS 9 that do this though. Eudora offers a host of different encodings, though, which can also screw stuff up.
