Need help saving a file!

Well let me start off by saying that I feel lost using the Office 97
programs! I had to make a new resume so I got myself a template off of the
site here. It opened up in publisher so that's where I created my resume.
I've put a lot of time into it and now realize that I think I made a huge
mistake! How the heck do I save it as a more "acceptable" file without
screwing up the format??? (for uploading as an attachment) Or is that just
not possible? I've tried saving it as a word document, but like I said,
screws up the whole format. I'm really lost, don't know what to do! Thanks
in advance.

Unfortunately Publisher is not the best choice for creating a resume that
you intend to send out in electronic format. Most businesses want a Word
doc.

You can try a copy and paste but I would't be surprised if you end up fixing
something up.

Also, I'm not sure if you meant Office 97 or 2007. If it's the latter, make
sure you save that Word doc as a 97-2003 format, not 2007 format.

Thanks for the response! Guess I have some more work ahead of me now. What
a pain in the butt! haha. So when I save it in Word 2007 then I need to make
sure to choose the 97-2003 format, correct? Thanks again.

Yes. A lot of companies haven't switched to the new format yet. Don't shoot
yoursef in the foot.
