Some thoughts on the Document issues...
- filename
-exotic, possibly hidden characters in the name?
-make sure ends with .doc
- upload
- make sure to upload in binary
- "telephone game" effect
- perhaps it's been transferred a number of times,
and reedited several different times, introducing
some new problem. start fresh with new word document
- testing something new?
- try making a brand spanking new document, save as word
and send/upload to someone on windows, see if that breaks it
- encoding/fonts
- perhaps a corrupt font which got embedded?
- exotic encoding (unicode? something else?)
- mime-type on server?
- perhaps not set correctly? (though diff with emailing
it tend to make this unlikely)
hth,
joe
