Default E-Mailing resume word document without changing format.

In message ,
Deb Proclaimed from the tallest tower:

Thank You Doug,
I did create my resume as a word document, but when I add it as an
attachment it still looses the formatting. Of course I e-mailed it to
myself to see if it was acceptable, which it was, but when I submit a
copy for a job application it looks nothing like my original
document. When I printed out the e-mail attachment that I sent to
myself it looks exactly as the original, with the bullets and correct
spacing, but if I try to copy and paste it everything is out of
allignment and it is double spaced.
I spent about four hours composing this resume on my own because I
don't really know how to use the templates. The bottom line is, I
need a job.
I did go to Google for PrimoPDF and downloaded it, but how do you
convert it? I could really use a computer tutor!! Oops, I forgot I
divorced him! He-He, I hope you are laughing!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help.

I would suggest that you covert it to .pdf format and send it as an
attachment to the email. If you don't have a .pdf converter, Google
for PrimoPDF.

I just got a new computer 3 weeks ago and updated my resume. I did
it from scratch because I couldn't figure out how to use the
templates, and I didn't
care for any offered anyway. I created it as a word document but
when I send
it through e-mail the format is nothing like my original document.
It is all
out of allignment. If I try to copy and paste it the bullets will
not appear.
I lost my job 2 months ago so this is an immense issue for me. Can
anyone advise me what I need to do? Any suggestions would be
greatly appreciated.


This discussion has strayed somewhat from your original question...!
Deb: Have you managed to get a handle on creating a PDF file, or otherwise
solved your problem?
