Formatting problems with Word documents

juno

I don't have Microsoft Word, so I use Open Office. But I'm trying to send my CV out to people who do use Word.

I've got tabs and centred things to make it look good, but when I send it to my friend who does use Word it all comes out funny and doesn't look right.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can make it look pretty in Word?

Er can you choose save as and then save as a RTF
document or Word Compatible file

When I have trouble like this I convert things to PDF, which is readable by pretty much anybody and never loses formatting - I think open office has a "convert to PDF" option somewhere...

Thank you so much! *blows kisses* I knew someone on here would have a great idea! It works when exported as a pdf!
