Please help! I'm trying to send a word document from my 'Vista computer' to
my friend's 'XP computer'. When she gets it she can't read it!

The problem has nothing to do with Vista / XP per se.

Does she have WORD or a WORD viewer? What does she receive?

Attach the .doc file to your mail message. She should be able to click
on it, and have it open in WORD.
 
This is not really a Windows Mail or even a Vista problem.
By any chance, are you using Word 2007? By default, the
latest Word uses a new file format, docx. For the time
being it is best to configure Word 2007 to save using
the older .doc format.

She has Microsoft Works Word Processor. I have tried to send it as a Works
doc and a doc attachment. She still can't recieve it. Help!
 
She has Works Word Processor. I have sent it as a doc file and a works file.
It says the file is corrupt. She can't open it. Help!
 
All of the messages that I've received from my yahoo groups have '[SPAM]'
inserted at the beginning of the subject. I've added all of the groups to
my contacts so these shouldn't be seen as junk mail. I actually don't need
any spam filtering. My email server has a fine spam filter so I don't need
this addional check. I haven't been able to figure out how to stop this.
Anybody know?
 
It's not being done by Windows Mail. Your mail provider is doing
this at the mail server.

You still didn't answer my question. Which version of Word
did you use to create that doc file?

When you send it, use Plain text format -- do NOT use RTF format from
Outlook. Then attach the files and see if she gets them then.
