MS Works

[zman]

My new PC with XP came preloaded with a trial version of
WordPerfect. When I create a word document in Works,save
it, and try to reopen, message states that the program
that created the file cannot be found and I have to
manually open in Works. I have uninstalled WordPerfect
but I still have the problem. I'm trying to send my
resume as an attachment but the repipient can't open.

since you are creating resumes...your goin' need a real word processor SOON
anyway...just get MS Word now....and avoid all this aggravation.....trial
this...trial that.....come on...

Hey that was a very thorough and insightful answer Jack! Thanks for helping
solve that issue!

Are you saying that you saved a Works file as a Word doc and the email
recipient can't open it or YOU can't open it?

Have you tried saving the file as a Rich Text File (rtf)? This is a common
format that most word processors can read.

but I still have the problem. I'm trying to send my
resume as an attachment but the repipient can't open.

Human resouce personell all use word to view resumes. Better get word,
and create your resume with word if job hunting.

Does that really solve the OP problem? No. You can use Works to save in
Word format.
