[LabComm] RE: Sending Attachments

[John Weir]

Dear Sisters and Brothers:
 
As Bill rightly notes, it is easier for list users if senders avoid using
attachments as much as possible and instead post the content in the body of
the message.
 
However, if you do wish to send an attachment, you should send it in a
format that is (relatively) universal.  
 
The two prevailing formats are PDF (Adobe Portable Document Format)) and RTF
(Rich Text Format).  Both preserve the original format in most cases, and
also have the advantage of being smaller in size than Word or Wordperfect
files. One advantage of RTF is that virtually all word processing software
can read the files (and save them in this format), including Windows Wordpad
which is included with the Windows operating system.  As well, RTF is not
version sensitive, as even Acrobat PDF files are in some cases.
 
In Solidarity,
 
John Weir

Hi Merrideth,
 
Could you send the text in the email?  It's easier to deal with than saving
to disk and opening, particularly as I don't use Word Perfect.
 
Thanks.
