sending resume using open office
To whom it may concern,
My name is John, I have been using open office for some time now and fine it as good or better than windows office.
I have a problem with AOO, every time I send a resume to a potential employer, it always comes back. What is the problem
I am having ? I always need to move to the laptop, where I have saved Word for this occasion and then send the document.
Please tell me what the answer to this problem is. I can not find it. Thank you. John Please reply to jcishome@suddenlink.net
Thank you and may God Bless

In practice, no. Once a user has subscribed the content they post is
sent out immediately, with no moderator review.
In my personal opinion (noting that we have no policy on this point)
if someone has a small tag on their posts, in the nature of "Go Red
Sox!" or "Praise Jesus" or "Ernest Rutherford, the New Zealand
Einstein" or "Progressives To The Front!" or "I Like Tabby Cats", to
express their personal identity, and this tag is not disproportionate
to the length of their post, then I don't see a problem. I think it
would cause more distraction and disruption than it would save, to
communicate and enforce such a prohibition, especially on a list that
has many one-time posts from non-subscribers.
But note: there is a clear distinction between expressing pride in
one's own affiliation and attacking someone else's. I hope we agree
that the latter should not be permitted.

We need to stop this, now. Supporting OpenOffice users is challenging
enough without also trying to resolve all outstanding questions in religion,
science, politics, and the proper status of disco music ;-)
I cannot guarantee that this list will be an offense-free zone, since there
are some pretty weird things to be offended about. But I will work to make
the list be free of off-topic disruptions that waste everyone's time. We
need to appreciate that there are over 500 subscribers to this list, and we
need to avoid sending time-killing posts that do not advance the purpose of
the list: answering questions from users related to Apache OpenOffice.
Thanks, everyone, for your understanding!

Are you saving in .doc format? Many employers are clueless about the
.odt format that's default in OO.

If you are sending out resumes, they need to be in .doc format or .pdf
format. You can save the document to both of those formats from within
OpenOffice.
For .pdf format, there is an icon in the standard toolbar just above
your document. Click on that to create the .pdf file.
For .doc format, choose FILE from the menu, then SAVE AS. Then browse
the FILE FORMAT dropdown to find the .doc format (MS Word 1997-2003).

Jcishome;
Most employers in the United States want resumes in either Microsoft
Word or PDF format. If you are sending an Open Document Test (.odt)
file from OpenOffice Writer this is probably the problem. OpenOffice
can save in Word's .doc format or even better It can email your resume
as a .doc file but still save it in the default .odt format.
To use the e-mail feature; with the document open in Writer click
File->Send->E-mail as Microsoft Word. This will open a blank e-mail in
whatever your systems default e-mail program is with the resume as an
attachment.
I hope this helps you out.
Regards
Keith McKenna

Also to add to what the others have said, they simply may not be using AOO or even
LO (LibreOffice) so have no apps to open the document(s) you send.
