Don't. A lot of agencies now stipulate Word document to allow them to (normally) remove certain parts before forwarding to the customer. so a Word Processor capable of saving as .doc is neededbob_a_builder wrote: »Always send CV as a PDFThis is a system account and does not represent a real person.

The free programs work just fine. There are also Office web apps online offered alongside Hotmail. Between the two I don't see any need for a paid version.0

Open Office, Libre Office and WPS (formally Kingsoft Office) can all save in the Microsoft .doc format. The first 2 need to have their default SaveAs changed from .odt (in settings) while WPS uses .doc by default.
I use Libre Office for spreadsheet returns for a major UK charity and have no problems with formatting when using .xls.
Hope this helps.0 -

We can't tell you that - HUP participation is not published anywhere that I am aware of. Why not ask YOUR employer? Or ask your family members to ask THEIR employers?0 -

Neil49 how do I change setting ?
That's good to know as I have open office, put simply could you tell me how to change the default setting for 'save as' to .doc
Thanks for any help you can give.I choose the rooms that I live in with care,
The windows are small and the walls almost bare,
There's only one bed and there's only one prayer;
I listen all night for your step on the stair.0 -
Just thought of something else. If you get sent something on word via email can you open this in open office? Can you also edit it?
Thanks0 -
