Hi, Rachelle--It's very rarely that I'm able to help anyone with
anything on this site, but am always getting very generous and
gracious help.
Perhaps I can be of use here, however, as when I purchased my i-mac a
year ago, It was limited to a text editor program. After tryi8ng
Apple's I-Works program which none of my volunteer org colleagues
could open, I was advised to download Open Office.org. That has done
the trick for me. It does have a spreadsheet, word processing, etc.
components.
When I send to my colleagues with Word, I save my Open Office document
file (".odt") to my own file, and also perform a "Save As" (under the
"File" Menu) of Open Office, and give it a ".doc" file extension.
Then I can attach that Open Office .doc file to the e-mail and they
read it just fine. It does give you several different Microsoft Word
versions to pick from, but I usually just pick MSWord 97/2000 and that
seems to work for everyone.
I do hope this helps you. If not, Open Office.org also has a support
program on their website, as well as a User Forum Group.
I have found Open Office a much better program for me than a costly
Microsoft platform for Apple.
Good Luck.

Hello,
I have a problem with my macbook and was wondering if downloading
open office would solve my issue. Basicly, whenever I want to send
a document I have typed/created through the application pages
attached in an email, the recipient can never open it. Most of the
time, the person I am sending it to will tell me its because it is
being sent as a "zip" file as opposed to a normal word file. A
friend recommended that I download open office, and use that from
now on. Would I still have the same issue?
