Im having this issue with a word document i made a new C.V. at my friends house and sent it to myself via email so i can use it at home. when i got home i downloaded the word file and opened it fine (im using 2010) and then sent it off to a employer for them to take as my application.

but i recieved an email back saying he couldnt open the file does anyone know why?

Probably because they haven't downloaded the microsoft conversion tool, they are likely to be using 2003 or 2007.

when i got to save as i dont see any options to save in a 2007 format but it was sent as a 97 - 2003 format what would be the enxt best way to save it and send it as?

Save as, and use compatability mode. Should solve it, alternative: Save it as a PDF.

Usually best to save in compatability mode if sending to a Company when you are not sure which version of office is in use - think it shows as office 97 type.

[Nakatsu_Hime]

Always best to choose the 'Save as' option, and save the file in a .doc format (Word 97-2003).
This is the most widely compatible format, and the best to use if you are sending a document to someone who is using an unknown version of Word.

print it out, take photos of it, and then email him the photos.

Why not save the trees, and take a photo of the screen and send that

Tree's are jurks, did you know if they fall in a forest and nobody's around to hear it they doesn't make a sound.

Exactly, also you get to recycle the paper so you get to feel good, taking a photo of a screen is just pure waste of electricity, no feel good at all.
