Trying to type a curriculum vitae/resume and I would like to underline the
different section titles of my document. If I draw the line all my headers
don't look uniform. Is there a box I can click on that puts them on
automatically so it looks professional. thanks!

1. Yes, there is a way to underline your section titles in a uniform way in Microsoft Word. Here's how you can do it:
2. First, type out your section title.
3. Highlight the section title by clicking and dragging your mouse over it.
4. Go to the "Home" tab in the ribbon at the top of the screen.
5. Look for the "Font" section of the ribbon and click on the small arrow in the bottom right corner of that section.
6. This will open the "Font" dialog box. In the dialog box, click on the "Underline Style" drop-down menu and select the type of underline you want to use. You can choose from options like "Single," "Double," "Thick," and "Dotted."
7. Once you've selected your underline style, click on the "Underline Color" drop-down menu and choose the color you want to use for your underline. You can choose from options like black, blue, red, and more.
8. Finally, click the "OK" button to apply the underline to your section title.

You can repeat these steps for each section title in your document to ensure that they all have the same uniform underline style. This will give your document a professional and polished look.

You can add a paragraph border to the relevant heading style.

To modify a paragraph style, display the Modify Style dialog box (see
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/styl...fyAStyle.html), and then click
the Format button, and click Border. Make the desired changes. Click OK to
confirm the settings and close all dialog boxes.

If you are starting from one of Word's resume formats, the 'elegant' resume
already has underlined headings, but note that all the resumes are
constructed from tables to which you can add borders where necessary.
