Subject: [users] Re: opening documnet
Hi There -
Even after converting my oo document to a .doc, my potential boss
cannot open my resume when I email it to him. Any suggestions?
Thank you for answering!!

What version did you save it to?
If you can't find out what version he's using, try using the older
Word97 Save As. If he has Word 2007 or 2008 I don't think OOo saves a
current enough file format yet - Word 7 & 8 won't even open for
instance, Word 2003 without addins. MS seems to want everyone buying
new software; bad move IMO.
When I use <save as> Word 97/2000/XP, my MS Word 2003 read
the "saved as" file very well.
So my opinion is save your ODF document as Word 97/2000/XP.
I would not save it as Word 2003 if you do not know which version
of Word he is using. If her used 2007/2008, then save it as Word 2003.
Yet to my opinion, Word 97/2000/XP is a very good document
version to use even if he has 2007/2008. Even though MS is trying
to no longer support the older document formats, they still are
supporting those formats in their read/importing. You just cannot
have Word 2003 save the oldest doc formats, and I am told that
Word 2007 will not save the document in a Word 97 readable format.
SO
save it in the Word 97/2000/XP format and your potential boss
should be able to read it. Of course, you also could send along a
PDF version of resume as well. I did that many times when I was
getting consulting jobs in the late 90's/early 2000's.
