Thanks Nick. As with your option WinRAR and Bob's Usendit.com, it appears that both the "emailer" and the "emailee" would both have to download the product.

As it was, I re-scanned each page of the Will in JPG format. From there I could still zip each page down about 10%. I then emailed each page one at a time, each page taking around 5 minutes each. The recipient just unzipped the attachment her end, and there wasn't a problem.

Thanks to all for your suggestions.
