If you edit it in WP as an RTF document and set simple
margins and fonts, it should be OK. If you need to send a
document that will look exactly the same as you want it, try
sending a PDF file. There is a free program, CutePDF that
should work with any Windows document (I know it works with
my programs (I don't have WP).

the wp doc before
