.doc extension

[nnn5]

Hi,
I am trying to upload my resume to a recruitment agency website and when I
try to do it it comes up with an error that says "the file type you are
uploading to ......must be a doc extension. Please click on browse again and
select another file with the .doc extension". I have saved the file as a
word document. The resume was originally sent by email, and I then saved it
in word. Could this have something to do with it?Can anybody help me?
Thanks!

Let me guess? You are using Word 2007 - which saves documents in docx
format. Use the save as Word 97-2003 option.

Are you using Word 2007?

It seems you didn't. The Word 97-2003 save as option will save the document
with the doc extension.

I suspect that you have Windows setup with its default setting of not
displaying filename extensions. It might be a plan to change this from,
Windows Explorer > Tools > Folder Options > View so that there is less scope
for confusion. Note that simply renaming a docx file to doc, does not change
the file type.
