Computer Question

[joel304]

So, if someone is insisting on receiving a resume as an MS Word attachment, how do you do this if you use Yahoo? The resume attaches, but it does not open with Word when I test it. Is this because I have Yahoo???

 

I'm sure that this sounds stupid, but, when it comes to computers I really am. Help!!!

If you're using a Mac, make sure you have it set to append file extensions & make sure the resume document is "resume.doc" or WHATEVER.doc.

That should help, I think.

It attaches as resume.doc through Yahoo, but when I send it to myself, it opens as an attachment, but doesn't launch Word. I'm not using a Mac. Perhaps the person requesting it has an ability (other than Yahoo) to open it through Word?? At work, I think my computer would have launched Word automatically. I have no freakin idea.

[ErikMcAlister]

As long as you send it resume.doc, the receiver should be able to get it to open in Word. I wouldn't worry about it.

I truly am an idiot. I was clicking on view, rather than the link. When I click on the link, it opens in Word.

 

Reminds me of how I figured out that the cache retains sites visited. That was an awkward moment. You kids really are leaps above us old fellas. And I'm only 35.

I was waiting ( only 5 minutes) for your chatter. I guess I was asking for it though :-)
