<snip some of the text> OpenOffice Writer saves files in its own format as a default (odt) and only a similar version of OpenOffice will be able to view those files. What I would suggest to you is to keep the original document in OpenOffice format on your machine as a master document and then also create a copy in Microsoft Word format. You can create a MS Word readable file by opening you master document i.e. the resume with the odt extension, then choose File -> Save As. On the windows that pops up you will see a white space next to something called Location. You need to insert the name of the file here i.e. Monica_Karpinski_Resume_1 Directly below that there is a Filter. Click once on the filter, directly under the file name and you will see a list of formats the file can be saved in. Select the Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP one make sure there is a cross on the box next to 'Automatic File Name Extension'. Now click 'OK' and the file will be saved in the directory you specified, with the file name you specified and with a .doc extension. Send this file as your attachment and the recipient is sure to be able to read it. Hope that helps and best of luck in getting employed.
