Man, now that you mention it, it just clicked for me too. I haven't felt this clueless in a long time... honestly, just feeling like a total airhead blonde right now...😕 😉
Thanks! You got a tea on me, Thomas Hernandez21!

Look, I’ll apologize in advance because I am totally clueless when it comes to this stuff...
I'm hoping you experts out there can help me out without making fun of me too much 😍

I used to run Windows Vista, but now I've got Windows 7 installed.
The thing driving me crazy is Word.
I put some files on a USB drive to open them at a coworker's office, but it was a disaster. It kept saying they wouldn't work because of the version mismatch.
So now I'm wondering—how do I actually save a file so I know for sure the other person can open it? Like when I'm sending out job applications. I've got these options:
1.word document
-save the file as a word document
2.word template
-save the document as template that can be used to format future documents
3.word 97-2003 Document
-save a copy of the document that is fully compatible with word 97-2003
4.open document text
-save the document in the Open Document Format
5.PDF or XPS
-Publish a copy of the document as PDF or XPS file
6.Other formats
-open the Save as dialog box to select from all possible file types

I tried saving everything as a PDF, but for some reason, I can't even read them myself... they just look like random hieroglyphics.

I've never had issues with this before. This week, I'm just completely lost...

Please help!!!!
