Have a look at some of the résumé templates that ship with Word. These have
two columns. You apply your shading to the left column. You can apply
horizontal borders to the cells in the second column.

Thanks Suzanne, but could you please show me how this would be set up?
Thanks again Barry

Most of the résumé templates in Word use tables for layout, and that's
undoubtedly the easiest way to accomplish what you're seeking as well.
Tables don't have to have borders, and they can have shading in selected
cells as well as selective cell borders.

I want to create a resume with a large wide colored vertical block on
the
left side of the page.
The block contains the headers PROFILE, SUMMARY AND QUALIFICATIONS,
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE, EDUCATION, AND REFERENCES.
To the right of this block is NAME
ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT
Below the above are paragraphs with bulleted lists that line up with
the
block hraders. A horizontal line separates each paragraph.
Can Word or some template do this? Thanks for all replies.
Barry
