Microsoft Word problem

[Ben]

Hi,

I sent a MS Word document to my tutor attached to a email
using Hotmail, but when my tutor tried to open it, she
found out that the file required some kind of permission
to open! and so she could not open it!

Any ideas on how i can take away this file protection? or
whatever it is.
How can I make sure she can open my word documents in the
future?

Any help would be great!

Ben

Hi Wesley

Not Outlook, but Hotmail! There might be something that I
need to sort out in the MS Word settings, but i've never
had this problem with people not being able to open my
files before! - strange.

Thanks

Hi Ben;
Outlook is not Outlook Express.
Two entirely different programs.
I know nothing about Hotmail.
Is your tutor using Outlook Express?
