    If you are sending your CV out then always "Save As" Rich Text format.

    That can be opened in almost any office software. Also do a straight text version, using Wordpad or similar, with no formatting.

    Agreed, I have mine saved in different formats, Word, RTF and a plain text version. Also have different versions as sometimes you need a CV WITHOUT personal details if it's an agency advertising it somewhere. Even my Word version only gets as fancy as having grey background coloured headings, no tables or frames.

    Hi

    I'll resave as rtf and send, that sounds simple enough for me!!

    It just says it's a word doc, where would I see if it's a .doc? I'm puzzled that I just save all docs the same, and some seem to send fine. Can someone explain this gently so I might understand a bit more?

    Thanks to all

    Open my computer, go to tools then folder options then the view tab and remove the tick from the box next to the hide extention for known file types.

    This will then show you the 3 letters that follow the .

    or more than three letters in some cases.

    Thanks for the simple instructions, wondered why I never had the extensions displayed! It is a .doc

    .docx was already given as an example in this very thread so thought it'd be prudent to point out that it doesn't have to be three letters.

    Indeed. Though maybe 98% are 3 letters, maybe 25% of extensions referring to the current solution are 4 letters. Thus really a false statistic ;)

    On other news good luck on your computer exam :D just hope you dont need to email your tutor any work first ;)
