A prospective employer wants a resume that can be opened/viewed in MS Word 97
(yikes). I have Word 2003. Can an earlier version of word open a document
created in a later version?

Open up your resume file, do a Save As.
In the Save as type drop down box there is an option to save it as a 97 file.

Not in Word 2003! Word 97 should be able to open files created in Word 2003,
however you can set the compatibility options (tools options
compatibility) and or save it as RTF which any Word version can open.

I'd have a few reservations about working for a company whose productivity
software is that old. They'd have to have some terrific benefits. ;-)
