I am unable to download a word document to a job web site

[Rachel]

I am trying to download my CV to an employment website. An error message
comes up saying file not found check the file name and try again. I am using
Word 2003. The employment website accepts .doc .rtf .txt and PDF.

Any help gratefully received. Thank you.
Rachel

Firstly, ensure you have closed the Word file and the application before
trying the upload.
Many of these employment websites have a limit to either the File Size, or
even number of characters, they will accept.
Have you tried to Save As the Word file to RTF and upload that?
Hope this helps

Hi

I have used the Save As The Word File. It is showing under file type as RTF

Word 2003 creates .doc files. Are you sure you are pointing to the correct
file?

And, shouldn't she be uploading, not downloading?

Yes, but I suspect that she's just using the wrong terminology.

 

[Gordon]

And, shouldn't she be uploading, not downloading?

Absolutely. However there seems to be a growing culture that the word
"download" is applied to all file movements to and from a computer,
including "installing" from a CD/DVD....;-)

I know. The dumbing down of society.

Unfortunately it's nothing new, Tom. A large segment of society has
*perennially* latched on to industry buzz words [in virtually every
industry] without having any understanding of what the terms actually
mean... I routinely hear users refer to having "500 GB of *memory*".

You can't really blame the individuals entirely because the industry fosters
such confusion and misinformation... Like marketing USB devices as "drives"
& good ol' MS lumping Photographs, Movies & Sounds in with ClipArt

I believe that people need to take the time to understand some of the basics
and use the correct terminology. Evn tho prices have come down drastically
over the years, computers are not cheap. Why is it so uncommon for people to
at least know a little something about their investment?

I think rather than discussing the basic computer terminology, we should be
discussing the solution of Rachel's question.

We have done.
However, it's like someone going to their mechanic and saying "my tyre
has inflated and I can't drive on it" - isn't it?
