a friend edit an obit. Her husband died suddenly Saturday night,
without warning.</p>

(not Micro$oft Word) and when she attached the file to an email,
it came through compressed. When unpacked I had two directories,
containing the file (and other crap) in two different formats:
.doc and some Mac format.</p>

format I could handle (nothing simple like a .doc extension) and
finished my work.</p>

-qt-user-state:0;">Question: Can the settings on her Mac be
altered so that when it attaches a file created by this "word
processer" it just attaches the file, without adding a ton of
crapola, and without compressing anything? If so, how?</p>

.odt. Any guesses as to whether her software can handle either
one, or both?</p>
