Need a bit of help- jpeg

This is my first post here, and some of you guys may not be pleased with the level of knowledge that I'll display in this post:o, but I need to get this solved.

My previous scanned resume opened with Microsoft Word, meaning it was a scanned document with the .doc extension

Now, I went to a cafe to get my latest resume scanned, and it is in .jpeg format.

Does it look OK for it to be in .jpeg ( I mean is it usual for scanned resumes go out to employers in .jpeg ?), and can a print out be taken by adusting the size of the text when the receiver gets it in .jpeg ?

Also the JPEG file appears to be larger than the word one- close to 2 MB when the word one is about 250 K. Any reason for that ?

Is there something which can convert a .jpeg scanned document into a document which opens with .doc?

I'll appreciate any help given :)
 
If you're sending it off to an employer, wouldn't you print it and then mail it to them?
I doubt there is anything to convert a .jpeg to a .doc as it's a picture, and converting it to a .doc would be to alter the text, which you can't do becuase it's an image, if that makes sense?

I had to send it to them via e-mail. For some weird reason, the scanning device and software only allowed you to save it as an image and not a .doc file.

So it is ultimately a scanned resume which contains text, but is in the .jpeg format ? Anything wrong with that ? I mean the employer can still print it out right ?

About conversion, your post does make sense (applicable to photos and similar stuff), but the resume here is text. So conversion of characters shouldn't be a problem right ?
 
just open a .doc file
insert a the picture
(insert -> picture -> from file -> browse to the picture)
and save the doc

done
