What format is your resume in? you can normally save as Rich Text Format and it should attach, or convert it to an adobe .pdf format, there are many places on the web you can convert it to .pdf which is pretty universal.

Right click the file you are trying to send.

What program did you write your resume in?

Converting Text Files

Most word processing programs provide an Import function, which provides built-in conversion for various document formats. Simply select Import from the File or Import menu and choose the document type you want to input.

If your word processor does not import the document type you need, you can usually use the ASCII file format as a common denominator; however, you will need the word processing program that created the original document.

If both word processing programs import and export ASCII files, convert your original document into an ASCII file using the source word processor. Look for Export in the File or Export menu. Select ASCII file or Text File. After creating an ASCII file of the source document, use the destination word processor and import that file using the Import option, again for an ASCII file or Text File. Note that all format commands (bold, italics, headers, footers, etc.) will generally be lost between conversion

What email are you using? It shouldn't matter what the file format is when you send it. It should just attach the file as is. If it is a strange format the receiver might not be able to open it.

Actually, I can set what types of files can be sent through the servers I own, of course they are set up to pass on the most common formats, but I did have to add a format a few months ago, when our customers started using Open Office and sending native file formats..

But .rtf is always a safe format, that is pretty much cross platform compatible.
