When I email my resume as a word document attachment, how do I send a file that is read-only. I don't want to attach the file that can be edited and shows formatting...

Just copy and paste the text into a new Word file and save it. The editing and formatting history is not carried over. otherwise copy the file into a TEXT file and save it and then e-mail it, but it will not have ANY formating then, just the text.

Send it as a PDF. Headhunters will want to add their headers to any Word document you have. They have messed up so many of my resumes - I always bring my own copy of my resume even though they "have" a copy from the headhunters.

Open your resume and choose the following options:
File
Save As
Click on Tools (on the right)
Security options
Click "read only recommended" and put in a password for the ability to modify only - choose something easy to remember
If you put a password to open, they won't be able to.

Excellent question, and you are smart to think of this!
You can protect the document under Tools/Protection, or you can scan it as a .pdf file and send it that way.

You could send it as a PDF instead. That way they can open it in Adobe Reader regardless of what sort of computer they have.
