Why is Email altering Word File

My friend and I both have MS Word 2013.
When he Emails the attached Word file to me (and visa versa), it comes out fine .... however ...
When he Emails it to other people, the columns with the Year and corresponding text don't line up.
(I don't know version of word the other people have, but it could part of the explanation)

The real mystery is that when he emails the document to HIMSELF, the same corruption occurs.

Please speculate as to what may be happening.

EDIT: My attached file seems to have the same corruption!

I would use one row per year if I was to start over.

It's be sent a a webmail attachment
I wonder if the attachment is being damaged. I am not sure why this would happen.

Can you send by Outlook to test?

Hi BillDL & John
It's not my PC with the problem (I've only occasional access - I mostly help the guy over the phone).
I don't have the corrupted file - only reports of same (It's never corrupted when he emails to me)
BUT as my "EDIT" said - when I download the file I attached to this EE question, THAT is corrupted.

Neil - The corruption is occurring without editing - Merely emailing & saving the attachment & opening.

As I said, I would use one row per year if I was to start over.

I'll close this question tomorrow
