Please explain exactly what you are doing to send it. Is what you do
different *at all* when you send it to yourself as opposed to an employment
agency?

What E-mail program are you sending it with? Where and when do you get the
message ""please select txt, rtf or doc"?

when applying online to temping agencies i go to the apply page and download
into there browse box from there press the apply button and then the "txt,
rtf or doc" message comes up....thanks

OK, it's starting to become a little clearer. That's very different from
what most of us probably assumed you were doing.

A few more questions:

What is the name of the CV file you are trying to send--the full name,
please, including the extension (the three characters after the dot at the
end of the name)?

What is the URL of the web site you are using to try to send it?

So, what's a "cv"?

"Curriculum vitae," a Latin phrase meaning "course of life." It's the
British term for what we in the USA usually call a résumé.

So, what's a "cv"?

The term “curriculum vitae†comes from the Latin Curriculum (course) and
Vitae (life): The course of
one’s life. "It is vitae (not vita) because "life" in the phrase "course of
life" ... is in the genitive
singular†- Eric Daniels, CVtips.com

Totty, you need to create a word Document and save it As myCV.doc make sure:
File name: [ myCV ][v]
Save asType: [ Word Document ][v]

CV's aren't accepted a lot outside of the academic community. If the agency
only accepts txt, rtf or doc files then you will need to convert your CV to
one of those formats.

Something is very much wrong here. Neither Wordpad nor Works can create a
..doc file. A .doc file is a Microsoft Word format. Please explain exactly
how you have created and how you named these files.

Both Wordpad and Works are programs. You *create* files in Programs, but the
files are not *in* the programs, they are in folders on your drive. Normally
files like these are stored in the My Documents folder, but you can't have
two files with the same name in the same folder. So where have you stored
these files?

dont know how to find the URL of the website sorry
because there are several that i have tried......not just the same
site or company..............

And you get the same "txt, rtf or doc" message in all of them? Is that the
full exact text of the message? If not, please supply the comnplete accurate
text.

Post any URL that you tried. I want to see the same thing you're seeing.

What do you at the website? Do you type (or paste) the file name myCV.doc
there?

I don't know what you mean by "microsoft etc," but if you are asking whether
you should reinstall Windows, definitely not. I highly doubt that your
problem has anything to do with a Windows problem. I think you are almost
certainly just misunderstanding what you should be doing.

I'll try to help straighten out those misunderstandings, but I need more
information from you first. Please answer the questions I asked below.

Hi totty,
You don't need to uninstall your Operating system, try to download this
openoffice suite and you will be able to create the Doc you want:
htt://download.openoffice.org/2.1.0/index.html
It is free and it will do the Job for you.
HTH.
Good luck.
