You sent a document in Microsoft  Office format, a set of secret proprietary
formats,  which are  from hard  to  impossible to  read unless  buy and  use
windows and microsoft office. 
We do  not support  non open formats  at this site,  you should  resend your
document in some open format like plain text, HTML, or PDF.

Distributing  documents  in  MS  Office  format  is  bad  for  you  and  for
others. You can't  be sure what  they will look  like if someone  views them
with a different version of MS Office, and they may not work at all.

Receiving MS Office attachments is a bad idea because they can carry viruses
(see http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/acro.html).
It's   also  a   bad   idea  for   you  because   an   MS  Office   document
normally  includes  hidden  information  about the  author,  enabling  those
in  the  know  to  pry  into the  author's  activities  (maybe  yours). Text
that  you  think  you  deleted  may  still  be  embarrassingly  present. See
http://www.microsystems.com/Shares_Well.htm for more info.

But above all,  sending people MS Office documents puts  pressure on them to
use Microsoft software  and helps to deny them any  other choice. In effect,
you help maintain the Microsoft  monopoly. This pressure is a major obstacle
to the  broader adoption of  free software. Would you please  reconsider the
use of MS Office documents for communication with other people?

Converting the  file to HTML  is simple. Open  the document, click  on File,
then Save As,  and in the Save As  Type strip box at the bottom  of the box,
choose HTML Document or Web Page. Then  choose Save. You can then attach the
new HTML document instead of your  Word document. Note that versions of Word
change  in inconsistent  ways --  if you  see slightly  different menu  item
names, please try them.

To convert  to plain text  is almost the same  -- instead of  HTML Document,
choose Text Only or Text Document as the Save As Type.
