Quite easily in fact.  Since you mentions .odf, I will assume you are
using Open Office (Writer) to make the resume.  Just open the resume
and choose "Save As" from the file menu (just as you used to do in
Windows).  When the Save As dialog box is up, click on the little
arrow next to the File Type box and select Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP
(.doc) from the drop down list before clicking on Save.

Rather than explaining how to do this here, I suggest you ask Mike to
move your data files from the old account to the new one and change
their ownership to the new account.  It is not hard to do but I choose
not to try explaining it now as I am about to go out for some time.

You might also ask Mike if there is any reason to retain both accounts.

This should be easy as well, but ask Mike first if he is your support guy.
