PSA: Document portabilityWhile everyone up here is eternally grateful for the effort that you all put into these files, the fact is that not everyone has MS Word, or many are using versions of Word (or Windows!) that are different from yours and we are unable to open your files! Nor is everyone using Windows, either, and portablilty of files is a real issue.
Please, please, please...save your documents in either RTF (rich text format) that can be shared between all word processors, or in PDF (Portable Document Format) that anyone on any platform can open and read.
Thanks!

Saving multiple versions of filesHey there Kitchen Guy,
I understand your concern and regret that you can't open. I don't mind posting stuff in the format that I create it in. But, I have too many other things going on to save as, and post multiple copies.
If someone emails me privately and requests that I send them something in a different version, I usually try to accomodate. But to post in this version, that version, the other version, so that text/pictures/font will show up, might show up, won't show up, can be edited, etc. is just not a reality for me.
Long story short, don't be offended if I don't. Just email me and I will attempt to help you.
Thank-x! Have a great week.

Which is precisely why I usually post things in PDF format, which is fixed and viewable only.rwesterpchef said:
If it's something that you want people be able to open and edit, post it as RTF.
No multiple versions, or save as's, just one: RTF. The Rich Text Format is readable by any word processing software or version.
