Hi, I have a Vista computer with Microsoft Works?

Question

I want to send my CV's off to employment agencies and have downloaded Open Office which is meant to be compatible. When I tried a dummy run to my email address it wouldnt work. I saved my CV as Microsoft word 97/2007/XP format! Is it because I am sending it to my machine - if someone has successfully done this on a Vista with Microsoft Works using Open Office can they explain how to do it! I will give 10 points and would be really grateful. Thanks.

Answer 1

As long as Open Office was able to open the Works file, and you saved it as a M$-Word file, the only issue is: Can others read it.

Email your CV to a friend or family member (they need Word or Open Office) and see if they can read the file. If they can, you can send it to anyone.

Answer 2

Works can't read Word files and Word can't read Works files!! Never have, never will - not bad for two pieces of software made by the same company huh??

You can save it in RTF I think (from memory) Works does read that.

Hope that helps!!!
