clarisworks converted to word, now cannot edit?

Question

I copied and pasted my old resume, made in Clarisworks, into a Word document. It looks perfect, but cannot be edited! The text appears in a box which can be moved around, but inside the box the text is frozen. I've had success with opening the old resume with Mac link, but all the formatting is gone. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

You've copied and pasted the whole document as an image, so Word is treating it like a picture of your resume. I'm not familiar with Clarisworks, so can't offer much guidance. But try right-clicking on the clarisworks resume and select 'open with' and try to open it with Word. Maybe Word has the ability to reformat it so you can save it as a Word document.

Another possibility is to try to open it with your Internet Explorer browser and then save as a Word .doc

Good luck
