It's not very clear what the problem is.

Start at the beginning - write a basic document in Open Office. Save it in Word format and send it to someone. I doubt it is a hotmail problem.

If all else fails, try saving it as an RTF file as many programs can open these files. Alternatively, using OpenOffice, you could save the file as a PDF and forward that.

or cut and paste the contents of the cv straight into an email so there is no attachment
