Hi all.. first time here so I hope I'm in the right section..

This is my situation .. when sending a document as docx via email attachment in gmail the words do not keep there formatting the document ends up with typing errors ... for example if the original txt sent said this...

- the point is that whenever we propose a solution to a problem



it arrives at the recipient looking like this..

- the point is thatwheneverwe propose a solutiontoa problem

I am using word 2007 on win xp and the recipient is using word 2011[ I think] on a mac... why does this happen .. surely the format should remain consistent ? hope someone can help its driving me nuts and the document is part of a masters thesis
thanx
