    I was wondering if anybody could help me out here. I have Microsoft works word processor but I don't have the regular MS Word.
    I created my CV using this and applied for a few jobs. However, I got a reply from a place today saying they could not open my CV. This is the main job I was hoping for a reply from and I really need to sort this if I can.
    I think the reason it won't open for them is because its .wps
    So is there any way I can convert the file so I can re-send it and it'll be able to be opened and read properly.
    Thanks in advance.

    Or you could copy and paste the text to MS office in your hotmail account and save it as a word file.

    or cut/paste the text to write/wordpad
    and choose .rtf, in case the person is using microsoft word as old unpatched versions of word are about the only word processor that can't read .docx


    or get www.libreoffice.org and save as a .doc or .pdf

    or use pdfcreator or similar to print it to a .pdf file
