Pasting Word text into new message

A

I am currently job searching & sending my cover letter & resume via Outlook
Express to prospective employers. I am having a problem figuring out why
when I copy my letter & resume from Word(the doc is formatted in plain text
with proper margins for sending email) & paste the text into the new email
message body, some areas of the letter or resume will have sentences that
continue beyond the set margins in Word. I will proceed to correct those
sentences so they line up with the rest of the email body text and send it.
However, when I send test emails to various ISP's the email is received with
text formatting that is all messed up(i.e-irregular line spacing, no defined
margins). Any solutions?

Hi,
the best way to send cv is in pdf format! So the companies could better
print out your cv!
So why dont you use the pdf file format?

Thanks for the reply, Andreas. I understand what you stated, however the
need to paste the text in the body of the email as I explained below is due
to request by majority of job posters to do so and not send an attachment.
