Alex.
Employers often ask for Word format.
That's always the biggest problem.
The answer is not to use any complex formatting (you shouldn't do so in
a resume anyway). Make the plainest, simplest resume and save it as a
.doc file. Keep opening it in Word and testing it until you get a clean
copy without formatting problems.
Another option from the "dirty tricks" box is to write an XSLT transform
to output very, very plain and simple *valid* HTML (not XHTML) with some
simple embedded CSS to do the formatting. Save the output with a .doc
filetype, and Word will open it as if it was a Word file. You need to
know the limitations of Word's rendering of HTML, but I have used this
method quite successfully in the past -- although not from OO (all my
documents are authored in XML to start with).
