It was a 6 page resume saved to rtf. It started out as a .DOC file. I tried to attach both files but that is not allowed here. (129.85 KB, application/msword)

It was a 6 page resume saved to rtf.  It started out as a .DOC file.  I tried to attach both files but that is not allowed here.

I spent hours redoing a resume, saved it rtf, and when i went back into the file, it was completely gone except for "First Page;"  I was completely mortified!  It happened two more times redoing it.  

Also, when I changed an existing DOC to RTF same thing happened.  

When I RENAMED a doc and saved to RTF it happened again!  So frustrating

Writer was closing on me on one section that I was trying to "return" space to push text to the next page.  Writer Kept repeating the same thing.  I'm not sure if all these issues are related or not

RTF not saving properly.  Whole file becomes corrupt. First Page; shows upon reopening the newly saved file.

RTF and DOC are not open format:

If you want to convert from one Microsoft file format to another Microsoft file format then you should use Microsoft software.
