I find RTF (rich text format) is quite adequate for my CV, and have had no complaints.Originally posted by up4it View PostI just think it is a good product though it can be a little slow to load up!
Not sure I would want to be doing my CV using it though. As all the agents will be using MS Office and the formatting could go a little skee-wiff!

No, but it generally means considerably better value for money.Originally posted by DiscoStu View PostYes, but I prefer MS Office. Open source doesn't always mean better...
I find openoffice a bit clunky and slow (because it doesn't use all those unpublished api calls in windows), but I've never had any formatting or conversion issues.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

WHSYes, but I prefer MS Office. Open source doesn't always mean better...Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
