Step 1) Start MS Word.
Step 2) If you the document exists in Word format, open it. Otherwise create a new document.
Step 3) Click FILE, SAVE AS.
Step 4) Set FILE NAME = "Dave James Resume Nov 2 Text".
Step 5) Set SAVE AS TYPE = "Plane Text".
Step 6) Press ENTER.
Step 7) Close the document.
Step 8) Open the document. Observe how it looks.
Step 9) Open the document with the program, NOTEPAD, to check how it will look in a text only field. To open NOTEPAD, click on START, ALL PROGRAMS, ACCESSORIES, NOTEPAD.
