Default .doc extension

I suspect that you have Windows setup with its default setting of not
displaying filename extensions. It might be a plan to change this from,
Windows Explorer Tools Folder Options View so that there is less scope
for confusion. Note that simply renaming a docx file to doc, does not change
the file type.

It seems you didn't. The Word 97-2003 save as option will save the
document with the doc extension.

Let me guess? You are using Word 2007 - which saves documents in
docx format. Use the save as Word 97-2003 option.

Hi,
I am trying to upload my resume to a recruitment agency website
and when I try to do it it comes up with an error that says "the
file type you are uploading to ......must be a doc extension.
Please click on browse again and select another file with the
.doc extension". I have saved the file as a word document. The
resume was originally sent by email, and I then saved it in word.
Could this have something to do with it?Can anybody help me?
Thanks!
