Post by thread:[OT]: Resume' Tools: MS Word 6 clones / workaroun

Have a Resume that I need to bash on somewhat, been keeping it on Win 3.x Write in the past - I'm finding that Win95 OSR 2.5's Wordpad just isn't *near* good enough (No Pagination, no paragraph justification, both of those nicely present in Win Write!) - Anyone know of a good tool to use here? What I'd really like is to find my WinWord 6.0 install disks - Not found yet. Or to find a copy of Aldus / Adobe PageMaker and a way to mutate it's output files into Word 6.0 format (Which is probably an existing Export function, IIRC. Used to work at Aldus and am pretty familiar with PageMaker <G>) Most recruiting / Job Shop places seem to really prefer WinWord 6 .Doc format; this could be of use to several other people into PICs as a career. Have a copy of Ventura Publisher (v 4.1 for Win 3.x - Old). So if that can export to .Doc format, maybe, I think it won't though. Maybe I can find my WinWord 6 install disks, too. Linux equivalent tools would be fine far as I'm concerned - Don't have a running linux box right now but DO have Mandrake 7.0 & 7.1, EasyLinux, Slackware, and about 10 more different install CD sets so I figure I can get one going in short order. Have the computer room halfway put back together - It's going to be NICE when finished! <G> Big rack to fit systems on top of, bookshelf, nice desk to work on underneath - Going to do the same on the other side of the room soon, first things first though.
