If you used a word processor to write your r�sum�, see if you can save a
copy in RTF format for sending to Word users.  RTF is, I believe, a
Microsoft format with which Microsoft seems sufficiently bored that it
has been pretty stable.  I know that, for example,
ClarisWorks/AppleWorks can export and import RTF, and, AFAIK, any
version of Word can import RTF files.
