Yes, you missed one step. You need to save the file in Microsoft Word format for them to read it. When creating and sending a file to a person with MS Word, use File > Send > Email as Microsoft Word. This will open your email client with your file attached to the new message as an attachment. Enter the receiver's email address, a subject, and any additional message. Then send as usual.
