Quick Microsoft Word Question

[Ragnar]

I need to send a company my CV tonight, they say it has to be compatible with Microsoft Word.

 

I don't have Word but I use Works Word Processor instead.

 

If I save the file as Rich Text Format will it be compatible with Microsoft Word?

 

Thanks.

Yes word can read Rich Text Format. If you do find a way to save as a word file make sure you use 2003 compatible or .doc, not 2007, 2010 .docx.

You can download a trial of Office if needed...

I would say using Open Office is better than Works, and you can save it in a Word compatible format, download from here...

I havnt a clue about these things. I sometimes get my CV back can you send it in a different format... Eh

You should be able to save it as a .doc document. This is a word document.

 

If you don't have office you should download this - http://www.openoffice.org/ it is basically a free program that has everything office has. Word Excel etc.... You can save things as a .doc with this.

 

Good luck
