thanks for all the input folks! all i readily have at my disposal is microsoft windows xp stuff. i did my orginal resume in rich text, and uploaded it as a document.text( i used the "save as" feature). dont have the ability to save in PDF format, or do i? i was under the impression that i have to purchase adobe in order to write documents?
thanks again,
iball

edit: answered my own question. googled and found this place that converts for free.
