Ok...I'm sitting here, guzzling coffee, waiting for the limo to arrive to take me to the airport and I only have my main computer turned on which is running Word 2003, so I can't remember the choices I had in Wordd 2002, in File>Save As...but I'm sure there was a Word 95 option in there...in Word 2003, I have "Word 97-2003,6.0/95 RTF (*.doc)" so I'm sure you must have SOMETHING in there that says "95", but I can't remember how it's worded....I believe this would be a better choice than html...you know how bad Word is at html!! Heading off on my daylong journey....this may be my last post for a while, but I'll try to keep an eye on things :-) Linda F.

His version is Word95, and my version is Word 2002, therefore, he can't even open the document I sent. As a second try, I re-saved the document in Rich Text Format, and sent that to him. While I await his report, I am wondering if there is a better way to make a word 2002 document editable by a user who is running Word95. Another idea I had (but haven't acted on yet) is to upload it to a website as a web page with the idea that he could then capture it from the web, and then strip out the HTML coding. The document doesn't contain a lot of fancy formatting or tables or graphics, but it does have headers and footers with pagination. Thanks for the advice.
