How do I send open office doc so it can be opened by word/pdf users

I asked this a few years ago and everyone was so helpful. The only reason I'm asking again is because the original instructions are no longer applicable....

So I have a CV in open office which I need to send at some point via email. What I need to know is what format to save it in so it can be opened accordingly the other end. Previously I saved and sent it as PDF but I can't see how to do this now. It offers various options but I'm not sure which is best? I remember once sending a CV and they couldn't open it so I'm paranoid about things like that now!

Thanks all x

    One of the options will be a word .doc extension.

    Thanks guys- I knew it was something fairly straight forward but couldn't work it out! Saves me having to start from scratch as well which is such a hassle!

    On mine if I choose Print I get an option to save as PDF.

    Not sure if it comes as standard or if it's an add-on.
