I send a number of files out to PC users. I find that if I change the name to truncate (in your case change name to 'long' name) the names to about 28 chars and add the .doc to the end they have no problems. Maybe you could arrive at a code that would be acceptable to the recipient then they could change the names to what they need. -- Bob Poland - Sumter, SC [EMAIL PROTECTED] Check out my garage sale http://www.ibrb.org/ -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
