Open Office allows you to save in a variety of formats, including MS Word.
Huh.
I would suggest resumes & cover letters be sent as PDF's. Helps with font and margin issues. Also, nobody can edit your info.
Yeah, I should be doing that anyway.

Jesse,
there are free pdf creators if you don't have one now.

Of course OO has a built-in pdf creator - not that other free pdf creators are not fine, but kind of convenient.

as does Mac OS-X. A Print to PDF in the print dialog box, for those who didn't realize it. Quite handy.

zoho.com
or googledocs are the two I use. I like zoho better, because the how to is right up front. Both save things in all different ways.

Anyone else have a Flip Video camera & a Mac? Suddenly none of the files I've downloaded from it have audio! (Including old files which I *know* had audio because I (a) watched them with it and (b) there is audio on the cut-down Quicktime versions.)
There *is* audio if I watch the videos directly on the camera, but neither Quicktime or VLC recognizes any if I try to play them on the computer (either from the desktop or directly from the camera). Was there a Quicktime update recently that might have blown away some older audio codecs? These files are AVI generic MPEG-4s.

I have to admit I like Zoho Documents much better than google docs. For one thing the keyboard works more like off-line documents. The tab and enter key work more like Excel, and less like an html table. For another I like the greater variety of sharing options finer grained control.
Also, plain old more features.

I do. You need to install an additional codec to get the sound. The installer is on the camera, or you can download it from here

Rob, is that the Dec 2007 update? If it is I've already installed it (a few times), but I'll bookmark your link and try again when I get home.
