Windows 10: Why won’t it let me open my file across from word to the files app need my new updated cv...

Can anyone help

:)

 

Word opening files as Document1, Document2

This was the ticket. The .docx extension was associated with a word document template file type.

I used Nirsoft's File Types Manager software to correct this and now everything works fine.

That is, I open the document itself (not two copies or one copy), for reading or editing, if I:

• Double-click on the file which I usually do
• Right-click on the file and pick "open with > Word"
• Right-click on the file and pick "open"

Prior to your help and my fixing it, only the third option above worked.

Big thanks.

 

Open office VS Word 2007

I'm sure both your Word 2007 and your Open Office are quite fine. The problem is that your Word 2007 file is COCK-FULL of poor formatting, reformatting, changes in paragraph style etc. It might "look" OK on print preview, but the file and the underlying formatting (or remains of old formatting on an old resume/CV that has been updated and restylised many times) is total crock. Open Office tries to import it and goes WTF and tries its best.

A resume/CV is short. Start fresh. Don't be lazy. And before you just "copy" read a decent book or website covering how to write a top-resume.

In the long run, you will do yourself a favour by re-writing rather than importing. My CV did an about turn when I forced myself through the same exercise. And that was NOT changing wordprocessor, just making the effort to upgrade the CV.

 

opening .dds files with gimp

Simply, HOW? I got the DDS plugin but the POS wont open DDS files still. Can someone give me a step-by-step rundown of how to install the DDS plugin for gimp so I know if I'm missing something?
