Fakepath?

Fakepath?
Do any of you techy people know what this is? I'm trying to apply for this amazing job, and I'm trying to upload a cover letter from Word, but the file extension starts with "fakepath". I'm afraid to submit because I don't want the file to be broken or whatever.

Can anyone help?

RE: Fakepath?
The 'fakepath' attribute is just a security/privacy thing that browsers like IE and Opera use to hide your file directory tree from online submission forms.

Basically it would hide the "C:\Users\Becca's Shit\" portion from any file submission modules.

It should be fine.

So I can send it that way? It just makes me nervous...

Edit: I use Chrome.

Yep. If it cannot access the file, most file submission modules will let you know with an error message.
