I am trying to post my resume on a job website but it says that my document is not Microsoft word...?

Question

... but it is Microsoft word. I think the problem might be that the microsoft word on my computer says non-commerical use. Is that the problem or is it something else? and how do I fix my resume so that the website will take it?

Answer 1

Which version of Word are you using? Versions up through Word 2003 used a .doc file type; Word 2007 uses a .docx file time that's completely different.

If you're using Word 2007, do a Save As to an older Word version's type and I think you'll be OK.

Good luck.

Answer 2

When you saved the file, in the "Save as" dialog box, bottom left, filetype, were you careful to click the down arrow to select Microsoft Word?

Answer 3

download OpenOffice and then in OpenOffice Writer, open your file and do save as...and you can save it as a Microsoft Office file! Trust me lol, have done it a million times
