MS Word 2007 and Electronic Resumes
If you plan on sending out your MS Word 2007 resumes via electronic attachment, (such as by e-mail), do not assume that every employer will be able to successfully open your document. Unfortunately, while Word 2007 can open older versions of Word (i.e. .doc files), older versions cannot open Word 2007 (i.e. .docx files) without a special converter.
Fortunately, the solution is simple! Word 2007 gives you the option of saving your documents in earlier formats. So, if you plan on sending out your resume via e-mail or uploading your Word documents online, make sure you use an earlier Word format.
