[QUOTE="DocWatson, post: 50308, member: 112"] The Captain is correct that it's a security issue and fax is the more secure option. But for everyday document transfers that don't require that level of security email is a better option IMHO. As far as the format issue goes, that is more a , matter of the differences between formats that the different word processing softwares use. Microsoft Office recently changed the format it's programs save documents to and it is not backward compatable. So if you have MS Office 2003 you cannot open a document created in MS Office 2007 unless the person who creates the document saves it to .doc format your version works with rather than their default .docx format, you won't be able to open it. Same problems occurred between earlier MS Office programs and the the old standard, Word Perfect. They have to keep you buying updated version somehow and this seems to be the way they do it.
