Using Windows XP, MS Word 2003 -

Hope I can explain this correctly. I am trying to e-mail a word document (an invoice) to a customer.

I save it and then attach it to the e-mail. All of a sudden, the person recieving this, opens the attachement and the document (invoice) is there, but it also has all the word document toolbars on the top of it. Meaning, they can make changes to the invoice. I don't want those toolbars to be there.

I uninstalled MS Office 2003 and re-installed it thinking that the Office SP3 update was causing this.

It's still happening.

I don't use outlook for e-mail, I use hotmail (and aol) and this happens with both. would this happen if I use outlook.

p.s. Have always had problems setting up outlook which is why I never used it.

Thanks for any help
