Geoff,
Probably it's related with data needs to be converted to binary. With VFP7 you could use XML functions to put the data in a memo encoded to base64 bin and decode at other end.

CREATE CURSOR myCursor (mydata m nocptrans)
APPEND BLANK
APPEND memo myData FROM "myworddoc.doc"
CURSORTOXML('myCursor','myworddoc.xml',1,512,0,'1')
*Send

XMLTOCURSOR('myworddoc.xml','myWordCrs',4+512+1024)
SELECT myWordCrs
STRTOFILE(myWordCrs.myData,'myworddoc.xml')

Or better you could FTP transfer the file.
