For problem #1, delete the AutoCorrect entry entirely. Then add a new one to
change [something] to résumé. I would suggest that you *not* use "resume,"
which is a correct word that you might someday want to use. For purposes of
illustration, let's say you use "rsm." When you type "rsm," you'll get
résumé; when you type "Rsm," you'll get "Résumé"; and if you type RSM,
you'll get RÉSUMÉ.
For problem #2, there are two likely possibilities. One is that the heading
EDUCATION is formatted with a style that has a left or first-line indent.
You should be able to see this from the ruler. The other possibility is
explained at

As for the rest...what Daiya said.

So Im sitting at my cute little Sony VAIO PCG-SRX77 with its 10 screen
and
scant 2.7 pounds, trying to fix my resume. (I know I put resume in the
auto-correct section; but it only wants to do so for Résumé. Not for
resume. So I go there and try to enter resume in the change from
field,
but it keeps reverting to the capitalized form. How is one supposed to
control things with MS Word when it has such a stupid mind of its own?)
Anyway, back at the ranchhouse. Im trying to fix my Résumé and I need to
type in the heading EDUCATION at the start of a new page. But it keeps
indenting the word. I try backspacing to get rid of it, and it goes
directly
to the last word on the previous page. I place my cursor there and hit
Ctrl-space to enter a hard page break, and, lo and behold, EDUCATION
shows up indented again. Where in the world is that indent coming from?
So I start examining everything I can find that has to do with formatting.
I
go to Tools-Options-View and tell it to show all formatting marks. Many
show up, but nothing to indicate why EDUCATION insists on indenting.
Likewise theres nothing under the Format menu option that suggests why
Word
is behaving the way it does. Now Im really upset, and thinking back to
the
good old days when I could use Word Perfect and just hit Shift-F4 and see
every single formatting code, and then work directly with them to get the
effect I wanted. And I have to wonder: Why cant Microsoft be bothered to
provide this tool? Is Big Brother afraid to give up this power to us?
Surely
its nothing thats too hard for Bill and Buddies to do! If youre going
to
try to be THE wordprocessor for the world, surely you could be a little
user-friendly.
Ive read a few of the formatting discussions and they just confirm that
this whole process is excessively complicated. Why cant there be a
simple
solution, Bill Gates? Several people have mentioned how easy they found it
in
Word Perfect. Why cant Word be easy? If you have to go to forums and try
to
find answers there, the program is broke!
