Save a document as .doc instead of as odf or pdf

[Thomas McGoldrick]

Help!  I just converted from XP and do enjoy the lack of viruses and all the resulting reformat and reinstall of program exercise.
However, I am experiencing a few frustrations.
   Recently trying to do a resume upload to Monster.com I hit a stone wall when I tried to browse and upload a converted file that was in pdf format.  They required .doc format.  I spend an hour opening, select all, copy and paste into new window and trying to save in .doc but failed.  Finally had to paste directly into the Monster window instead of uploading.
Is there a way to do it?
  And, I recently got bold and asked Mike to change my password and user name on Ubuntu.  That seemed easy enough and will keep my kids off my computer.  But, alas, there is now a sub account (the new one) and I have to go into it and then arrow up to get to the previous user account and if I want anything there (documents) I have to open and read or print or select all, copy and paste into a new document page in the new user account because I am locked out of the old user account.  Is there a way to unlock the old user account?  Also, that action resulted in the apparent loss of my quick into yahoo upon click on the link to wifi and also my saved bookmarks.  I have searched and searched and cannot find where they have gone.
Any suggestions or advice?
Thanks
Tom
