So I need to create a fairly formal document in Word (I'm using 2002ver) that will be emailed to others. I found that when I create it in Word and email it from Word, all the formatting remains consistent with one exception: The document I created in Word looks aesthetically pleasing (i.e. each paragraph takes up three to six lines on the page.) When I open it in Windows Live Mail, the page appears wider (I think it is because the font is smaller) so that each paragraph only takes up a line or two. By the time you throw in indents and a couple of margin changes, it just doesn't look very good. Unfortunately, sending this document as an attachment is not allowed. How do you force the reader using an email program to see what I am seeing.

Unfortunately, since you are not allowed to use an attachment, there is nothing you can do. It's entirely up to the recipient's e-mail application how it displays a formatted message.
