As Junkzoo said, there's some pretty smart peoples on this board so here's my plea for help

I'm getting ready to email resumes but Word docs aren't the best format, I've read. I want to convert it to something else and have spent the afternoon trying to figure out what to use and trying to find a program to download. ASC11? PDF? Although I don't want to shell out the bucks for a PDF writer.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks for any help,

Alice

what OS? if it is OSX then you can save it or anything else for that matter as a PDF directly from the print screen.

if you are on a wintel box, then i am clueless right now. maybe you could send it as a .jpg. i am grasping right now.

Hey ALice-

Can you save it as rich text format (rtf, that is). I'm sorry that I got to TRT so late

I'm running Windows 98 Geoff, so maybe that's why I didn't understand what you said.

I think rich text will work for most things, Cath. I think I'll do some trials tomorrow with rich text and plain text and email them to a few people and see what happens.

Thanks for the help

DOesn't the typical Adobe program we had to download to get MACO stuff also covert to PDF format from word or whatever

 

[thefatman]

no, the typical adobe acrobat download is only a viewer, the writer is a few hundred bucks.

alice, you can also use word to convert to .html and send the document as a webpage, that'll be viewable in the browser.

that's how most junk mail is sent nowadays

Oh, I guess thats why it always wants you to upgrade version, for a slightly higher fee
