A single-page document I am emailing opens in "read" mode.

I am trying to email a graphics-rich single page Word document as an
attachment to an email. (I copied and pasted a Publisher document into
Word.) When the recipient tries to open it, the document opens in Word as a
two-page document and Word goes into "read" mode and folds the document over
onto itself. I never realized that Word had a "read" mode until this....
Does anyone know what I can do to keep this from happening

There really isn't much that *you* can do about it -- it's a setting the
recipient has to change in her copy of Word. Tell her to go to Tools >
Options > General and uncheck the option "Allow starting in Reading Layout".

Reading Layout view is new in Word 2003
(http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA010714941033.aspx#ux), so
any recipients with earlier versions don't have to worry about it.
