Hi everyone. Right now I'm at my day job making this thread using my iPhone. I got a call from a DJ yesterday who refered me for a gig. He gave me a number to call to speak to a lady about doing a retirement dinner that they have every year. It's those who are retiring from where she works.

It's between us and another DJ they are considering to do the event. I gave her a price and she wanted me to email her our contract with the price I quoted her. It's going to be on April 21, 2012. It's going to be from 8pm- midnight. She said most of the people there will be in their 40's and 50's. Easy gig.

Now my issue is I was trying to email her our contract that I believe is in Microsoft word. At least that's the one I wanted to send her. I did send her one this morning that's in another format and I couldn't type in the quoted price like I could using Microsoft word. Now my issue is I'm not sure if the way I sent the contract in an email using Microsoft office word went through. I tried sending it twice. I can't see if it took or not.

So now exactly how do I send an email using Microsoft office word? It says save & send. That's what I used to send it. Is that the right way to send it or what using Microsoft office word? Sorry for such a stupid question but I'm not a computer wiz like many other people I know. Please help me for in the future when I need to email a copy of our contract.
 
Save it to your Desktop or somewhere you can find it easy and look for the attach tab in your email client. Select the file when prompted attach and send

I'm working overtime tonight at my day job and will see if it comes up under documents. I know the old one does. But for the new one I'm not sure. I know it's in an icon on my desktop. Just got to see how to extract it so I can email it the normal way through attachments.
 
Once you type it up in word, you should have the option under the "save as" to save it to a .pdf. That's what I would do to send her a copy.
 
Yes, save it as .pdf (use Save As, not save) as not everyone has Word, but most have a pdf reader (or can get it free).
 
Yeah...you really should send your stuff in PDF. A word document is no good. Granted, nowaways you can open word on iPhones and Macs and what not. But the formatting might be weird.

Simplest thing to do is install a "Print to PDF" program. Print any document (or webpage or whatever) and for your printer you select print to PDF. It will convert it and save it wherever you want.

Check out this upload. It's this post printed as a PDF. Easy peasy.

Most current versions of Word (2007,2010) have it built-in as well.

Unless I've missed some of the updates, this would ONLY work if you have Adobe Acrobat Pro installed (but then again, I've had Pro all along).

Don't need Acrobat Pro from Word 2007/2010, there is a command in the Save As menu for PDF. Acrobat Pro gives you a lot more flexibility in rearranging and customizing multi-page PDF documents though (and can make some nifty fill-in-the-form pdfs).

<edit> I think pdf creation is in all the MS Office products as of the 2007 version.
 
Well - that answers that then, I just install Acrobat Pro by default - plus I do use the Pro features.
