Default Problems w/resume created in Word 2000

Use my gmail addy - jl dot paules at gmail dot com. Replace the dots and at
with the appropriate symbol.) Temp workers need to stick together.

Hey JoAnn,

Like I said, I really am "warped" in the mind, how am I suppose to contact
you ??? Lemme know. Thanks (I've been up all night at a temp job and
my
mind is fading fast, if it was ever there to begin with

It's not the format - it's the content that counts! There is no "magic
template" that will guarantee you a job.

Contact me offline and we can talk about some of the things that will or
won't work on a resume.

Hey JoAnn,

If it's true like Tony says that I can get a job if I'm under 50, then
I
should be okay for 7 years. (Hope to God it wouldn't take that many
years
or
I will be in some home in Idaho myself by that time !!). Thanks for
everything.

The problem hasn't gone away but I've decided to just quit worrying
about
it
and create another resume using another program instead of using a Word
Template (dont' think the templates come with the trial version anyway
do
they)?

As I asked Tony, lemme know if u know of some program that will create
a
quick nice looking resume that I can use, a free program that isn't
full
of
spyware if I have to download it to use it). I would like to do this a
simple way instead of starting from scratch and having to format and do
everything on my own. (God only knows how it would turn out then !!)
Write
back is you have any more suggestions for me, I'd like to hear them. T

Again, Thanks and have a great day.

Sincerely, Joy Dixon

Considering my 50th birthday is a memory and the orientation for my

is scheduled for Monday, I'd argue that last point a little bit...but
not
completely.

Hi Joy,

I see there have been a few posts here over-(my)-night but, at the
risk
of
repeating what Suzanne has said, I would like to try to clarify.

Let me say up front that (as far as I can tell):

* nothing is wrong
* nothing in your document has changed.

Next, let me make clear:

* Word is a tool for editing documents
* Table Gridlines are an editing aid
* They are how Word shows the boundaries of tables
* They do not print and do not fax
* The viewing of them can be turned on or off - by *user* choice
* Word 2000 and Word 2003 are the same in this regard

If you do not want people to see the gridlines, do not send them a
copy
of
your resumé in Word format; send it as a PDF. That said, assuming
the
jobs
you are after do not require a knowledge of Word you have nothing to
worry
about. Your CV has been the same since you first set it up and
recipients
of
it will not have a problem with seeing the gridlines.

If you want to get a job:

* relax
* be under 50

Good luck!

Enjoy,

Hi Tony, I was afraid I was talking too much and my msg. would not
be
"clear". The lines are not a problem for me BUT when I email my
resume
to
someone and these lines are showing up and are not suppose to, I do
not
want
that. They have never shown up before whenever I emailed, faxed or
printed
the document. I've used this resume format for over 3 years and
just
recently had gotten laid off and am needing it again.

As I said in my first post, the lines are not a problem when I am
working
with the document but they should NOT be visible when I am emailing
the
document to someone else. Something is wrong is what I am saying.
Can
you
help me rid the document of them? As I said also, they came from
the
template that I used to create the resume using Word 2000 and
again,
they
ARE
NOT suppose to show up in print, email or faxing. (but for some
reason,
now
they are?????). I just want the document to be visible - NOT THE
TABLE
LINES
TOO.

Thanks again for any info. Joy

What you are seeing are called Table Gridlines. They do not print
but
whether or not they are visible is a user setting so anybody with
an
electronic copy of the document can choose to see them (or not) -
it
is
beyond your control, and was that way before even if you did not
realise
it.

If you want lines not to be visible, one way is to add borders
and
colour
them white but remember that anybody with an electronic copy can
change
anything in it. Why do you think the fact that you use tables for
formatting
should be a problem?

Hi everyone, I previously created my resume using a template
in
Word
2000
and I am currently using it to send out for employment but now
I
am
using
Word 2003 (trial version downloaded from Microsoft.com). My
problem
is
this:
I assume that when I used the template to create my resume
that
it
already
contained tables or borders or whatever to use to make my
resume
look
like
it
was in an "outline" format. There were particular places for
headings,
titles, paragraphs, etc. These "lines" should never be visible
when
viewing
the resume using "print preview", "print", "email" or "fax".
But
the
lines
are now showing up when I email my resume and it is a disaster
for
me...

I cannot figure out what is happening and I have used every
command
available for tables and borders to rid this document of these
template
lines, but the are still showing up in email. (i am not sure
about
faxing
or
actually printing because I haven't faxed the resume to anyone
nor
do
I
have
a printer connected at this time). But they still do not show
up
in
"print
preview", just the way they should nto show up.

Can anyone figure out what I am talking about here? I hope
this
made
sense
to someone. I am DESPERATE and cannot create another resume.
I
love
this
one and no longer have Word 2000 on my system. (i had to
reformat
my
hard
drive and did not have the Code to reinstall my Word 2000 CD so
I
had
to
download a trial version because I could not find a way to get
a
new
code
to
install 2000 with).

ANYONE AT ALL, CAN U HELP ME PLEASE.

I'd be happy to send u a copy of my resume so you can see what
I
am
talking
about.

Thanks ahead of time - have a blessed day everyone

Joy
