hey guys.
i'm trying to send my CV to an agency at the min by e-mail but the guy seems to be having some problems. he asked me to send my cv as a word document, and my CV is saved as a 'wordpad' file (.rtf). i sent that over because i assumed it'd work, every pc has wordpad right? but it doesn't seem to be working for him. so then i decided to try microsoft word, so i dug out my microsoft works cd, installed word and saved my cv within that, as a .doc file and sent that over. again, it won't open. he said,
'No afraid it still comes up encrypted in the text.
It needs to be attached using the paperclip icon as a word document as unfortunately our system doesn't recognise any other format that we can save and edit.'
i'm stumped.. what am i supposed to send it over as? microsoft works saves the word files as .wps by default but i read that a lot of other programs won't open this so i saved it as .doc which seems to be the most common.
am i missing something extremely obvious here or what? is there some other type of word document that my pc doesn't have for some reason?
should i try sending it over as a .wps and risk it not opening YET AGAIN and have him think i'm a complete incompetent moron?!
