i want to send resumes but do not have ms word will open office save files so people with word can read them>

Answer 1

Save as RTF format instead. It'll preserve your formatting, and being a pure document format it cannot contain any viruses, so people are more willing to open that than a DOC file.

Answer 2

Yes, but be sure to select Microsoft Word from the drop down list when you're saving the document.

Another option is to get a free pdf creator such as CutePDF to convert your resume into a pdf document before sending it.

Answer 3

Yes, when you save the file, select MS word for file Type.
OR click file export to PDF and save in PDF format.
