Word Processors and Across the Network Sharing files with another computer is not difficult. What you must keep in mind are applications and versions of applications.
Files attached to an e-mail message have a similar concern.
If you attach a Word Perfect or Word file, be sure the recipient also has the same application. Otherwise, the attached file will not open. If you receive an attached file, not only must you hav e the same application, but your software version must be able to open. If you have students sending you attached files, be sure you identify to them what applications and version of software you will accept. Each year seems to bring a new release of WordPerfect and Microsoft Word.
