works8 or word

I have just started to send documents via email and today I sent a c v and covering letter and was asked if I could resend them in word;)
My p c came with works8 which I installed and use.
How can I get round this problem or would it be easier to install word:confused:
Any suggestions please:D

    By defaullt MS Works saves its files as filename.wps. Word files have the format filename.doc

    Open your document in works and seklect file/save as from the menu. You will see a drop down list of file types. Choose Word 2003.

    Should do the trick. No need to install Word.
