Q:3

In what ways can you ensure that an attachment you send will be easily opened by the receiver?

First

By checking the compatibility of the receiver's software that enables an attachment to be opened. There are a number of standard and common formats that have been adopted:

txt = Text file, no special formatting

PDF = Acrobat PDF, free viewer available

doc = Microsoft Word document, very common word processing program

xml = new industry standard document format

If one is unsure as to whether the recipient will have the correct software to be able to open the attachment then they will need to be informed of the type of format used and possibly also include a link to a free document viewer for that format.
