Computer nerds, I need help! Pwease.

I'm trying to email a file(letter head) to a recipient from Microsoft works.

I'm able to attach the file and send it but the recipient is unable to open it.

What am I doing wrong?

    I'm thinking its us because nobody can seem to open any of our files from Microsoft works.

    I'm thinking they don't and we don't have office. Is there any way to still send it?

    Word or Outlook *should* be able to open works files.

    A mac might not be able to.

    Hit file- save as- then under the document name it probably says word document or something like that, that is usually a drop down menu click the arrow and in the options should be pdf. This assumes you have it on your computer. ..

    Also it that drop-down you may be able to change it to a different type of word document

    I usually bring up the print menu, and print to a file. I'm not exactly sure where that is on windows 7. If there's a printer drop down menu, click on it and see if there's a 'print to file' or 'print to pdf' selection.

    Okay, it shows no option for pdf.

    This is what it shows.

    Try saving it with the ending ".doc" instead of ".docx"

    Thank you, I sent it so I'll see shortly if he's able to open it.
