I was given the advice to download openoffice, which is free.

I did so and spent hours this morning on updating my cv using openoffice. I emailed my cv for a job I really really really really want and the person can't open it as it's not in word format.

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHH

Is the only way to get microsoft office/ word whatever is to buy it????

Sorry, thought someone might know and might help

I love you all.
