I came to opposite conclusion as Skydrive (can't call it that anymore) doesn't allow for easy sharing of files but it does have its benefits.

I've lost fancy downloaded fonts (eg the starwars font) when sending stuff from one place to another for printing via DropBox. Whatever you are supposed to call skydrive keeps all the formatting. But I've never tried to share stuff. Google Docs is OK for that too. jamanda

No - I shared photos for printing with Jean on Dropbox. That did work well yummersetter

I was just going to say . . . chez

That would have happened anyway, Jamanda, those fonts get picked up from the machine you open the document on - if they haven't been downloaded on it, it chooses the next best thing.

If the person at the other end is just going to view/print the document and doesn't need to edit it, you are better off saving it as a pdf and sharing/sending it like that. jamanda

You have to pay for that though don't you? sgt.colon

That takes you to a link for an add on to 2007. Will it work with 2013? vegplot

2013 has export to PDF built in. No need for any plugins.


jamanda
