If you haven't got Word, then it is rather difficult.
Word comes as standalone or with MS Office or with Works Suite.
It is usually cheaper as part of a Works Suite (not the
standard Works) rather than part of MS Office, assuming you don't want
the other components.
The last Works Suite I saw contained Word XP as they always seem to
contain the version before the current one.

In the version of Works that I have 8.0 all you have to do it click on File

Save as and in the drop down menu select one of several Word formats such

as Word 6.0/95 (*doc).

See if MS Works will save your CV as an .rtf file. If so, it should be
readable by more applications.

thanks for trying to help - i did as you suggested but the transferred
file ended up too big for the page.

i will have another go later today and see if i can work out the best
way to do it.

thanks again,

Not sure what you mean by the above. If you are trying to paste or
e-mail a file that the receiver says is too large, send it as a .zip file.
