I created a MS Word doc first on my Windows PC at work and continued with it on my MAC at home but now if I email the doc from my thumb drive it askes what app to open it with and no matter what I pick, it comes up in "hierglyphics". but when I open it from my thumb drive in Windows it's fine. What is the problem? Also I noticed all my files say they're encrypted using AES? Is that why they won't open?
 
I've no idea of the cause, but you could save the file as text as a work-round.

If it works on the thumb drive, but not when e-mailed, then my first guess would be something on your Mac E-mail Client and/or some incompatibility between that and your corporate (Exchange?) Server, but I have no idea where to look.

Enjoy,
Tony

Thanks for your help. I 'll try saving it as a text file and see how it goes. Then I'll check with the server guy. t
