Word Document as Temporary Internet Files

[Ziggy M.]

A document (resume) was prepared on Word at a public library. My computer
came installed with Works. I emailed the Word doc to my email address with
the hopes of the forwarding the document (a resume) to potential employers.
I can not open the attachment via my hotmail or yahoo email account. The
message says "Can Not open Temporary Internet File". Why? Any suggestions?
Preparing the document in Works and emailling to employers with Word also
proved difficult as the format and spacing was always off. Any ideas would
be appreciated!

Don't try to open the attachment directly. Save it to your hard drive (My
Documents) and then open it from Word.

 

[Ziggy M.]

Thank you, I will try. If I save on hard drive, it will be opened using
Works, not Word. That is the application on my computer. Hopefully it will
work.

The document you prepared at the library is still a Word document when you
save it to the hard drive of your home PC. The fact that you don't have Word
is immaterial. You can mail it as an attachment to anyone you wish. You may
not be able to open it in Works as Works is not fully compatible with Word.
However many of the potential employers to whom you mail attachments will
never see them as their security systems will dump them. To be certain that
your resume is seen, it is best to create it in the body of a plain text
e-mail message.
