If you sent me a doc file, I'd try to open it since it ain't it ain't
such a big deal for me to click on a file. Sorry to hear you have
problems with this. Of course, I wouldn't send anybody a doc file either.

I'll convert any doc I create to a pdf if I need to transmit it
anywhere. I can even upload pieces I create for newspaper ads to the
publishers as a pdf file ready for printing. An incredible convenience.
Sending documents in pdf form also gives your docs a measure of security
as it makes casual editing difficult. Thank God for pdfs!
