Default sending resumes from templates

I sent a few resumes from the templates but when I double checked the resume
it contained the help box and column! Should I cut and paste it on
clipboard...I have Microsoft Word 2003.

I think you're going to have to back up and tell us what you're talking
about. What templates? What Help box and column?

The templates provided by Microsoft for resumes, etc. You just type in your
info from the various templates. There is a help box to the right...but I
think I fixed it myself by copying my resume and pasting it on a new document.

If you opened the template itself and edited it and saved it as your résumé,
then of course it was saved as a template, including the Template Help. The
proper way to use a template is to create a new document based on it.

Thanx Suzanne! That's what I figured out....one more questions is it OK to
send resumes out in Word as opposed to other word processing formats?

Send the résumé in the format in which it is requested: Word, PDF, plain
text, hard copy. Note that if you send it in Word, it may not look the same
on someone else's computer; see

Default sending resumes from templates

Hi

I have to send my resume out tomorrow but I cannot seem to format this
properly.

Here is what I did...

1)Downloaded the Word resume template
2)Opened the templated - filled in my resume info
3)Did Save As a Word doc.

My problem is when I click on the resume Word doc to open it, it's still in
template view and format. I don't think an employer would be happy reviewing
my resume in template format. How can I save or create my resume so that when
a prospective employer views it it's in proper "print preview" style format
NOT template format?

I don't understand how to do your proper way described below.

When I opned the template with my info on it and copied it to a new Word
doc, it's still in template format. Is this possible to save and then have it
viewed as print preview style NOT template format?

Please help, URGENT!

Thank you

Default sending resumes from templates

Resume templates use tables to format the document. Whether or not the grid
lines are displayed is a user setting, over which you have no control once
you send the document. The answer is to send it as a PDF format document for
which you will need extra software. There are several freeware PDF tools
that will do the job or you can convert it on-line from Adobe's site..

I suspect what you mean by this is that you are seeing the table gridlines.
