Format changes after document is e-mailed
Hi All-
I'm using Word 2007. I have set up my document in the Word 2003 Quick Styles and also as a .doc since I don't know if the receiver will have the 2007 edition yet and the document is my resume so I don't want to inconvenience any reader. My document has a section that lists my employors, then enough tabs to get toward the end of the line and there I put the years, ie 1998 - 2008. It would look like simillar to this but with the years showing close to the right margin: ABC Corporation 1998 - 2008 When I sent it to someone to verify that the formatting stayed true they said that the dates ended up on the next line. Could someone, please, let me know what I've done incorrectly? Thank you, in advance! |

I should also say that there are two tabs (0.5) before each company name.
So, to be clear, there are two tabs, then company name, then however many tabs it takes until the dates on the right hand side. P.S. I do know how to spell employer...a spelling error when writing about sending a resume doesn't look so good :-\... "LemonSeven" wrote: Hi All- I'm using Word 2007.

When you send a document in Word format to somebody else, you never know
exactly how the document will appear on that users computer. For example, the printer set up as the default printer can make a difference. To be sure that the layout remains unchanged, save the document as a PDF file and send that file instead. Also, everybody can view a PDF file using a free viewer whereas Word documents can only be opened if you have Word installed. About the specific problem in your document: Instead of using repeated tabs, insert a right tab at the right margin. You will then only need to tab once and the text will be positioned correctly.

Thank you, so much, for your quick reply!
Setting up as a .pdf file is an excellent suggestion. I will also take your advice about setting one tab for the positions. I appreciate the link as well. Thank you, again, for your help. I was stressing out about this and now I don't feel that way any longer. Thank you!
