sending attached files in Word

[heather]

I am trying to send plain text-only files in Word (from my eMac), and 
have found that it works if I translate my file to Text first, and 
then choose Save As Word.  When I discovered this it was a 
breakthrough, as it means I don't have to buy Word for the Mac.

However, some of my clients tell me they can't open the files on their PCs.

I have tested my method here (where I also have a PC on a different 
internet connection) and it works just fine - the attachments show up 
iconised (if that's the word!!) as Word and open normally.

What am I, or my clients, doing wrong??
