One of Word's dirty little secrets is that a file created on one windows
computer will not even look the same on another windows computer
depending on screen resolution, fonts installed, "Style" definitions,
and the arcane settings in "Tools|Options|Compatibility".  That,
combined with the ability to hide viruses in Word docs, make it mind
boggling that people email documents primarily intended to be read or
printed (not edited) in word rather than PDFs or just HTML mail.
