Adding add. employee history on Resume Template
Okay, so I STILL cannot figure out how to add another employee history table
onto my resume. I have read the other questions posted, and those do NOT help me. I have showed the gridelines, and played around with them, but no luck. I need someone to help me as soon as possible! Help! I am using the "Marketing/Sales Resume" Office Word 2007. |

Adding add. employee history on Resume Template
Instructions that say to be sure that table gridlines are displayed are
intended to make it obvious that what you're dealing with is a table. If you don't know how to work with tables, then of course this becomes more difficult. Without looking at the template in question, I would guess that each employment history item is in one or two rows. The simplest way to add an item is to copy/paste some existing rows. You can select rows and use Insert Rows, but they may not have the identical styles that way, and the styles are the vital point here, since (if I'm right about there being two rows), there will be different styles in the two rows. Hmm, I downloaded and looked at this résumé, and I can see why you would have difficulty; the creator has used split and merged cells that complicate the issue. There really isn't any good way to add items in this résumé. The actual fact is that there is absolutely no reason even to use a table for this résumé (it could equally well be done with tabs, indents, and paragraph borders), nor is there any good reason for the split/merged cells. Here's what you can do: 1. Select the merged cell in the first column, right-click, and choose Split Cells. Choose 1 column and 4 rows. This will restore cells to match the four cells to the right. 2. Select the split cell that has the Position and Dates paragraphs and merge it temporarily. 3. You will then be able to select the top two rows, copy, place the insertion point in the first cell of the third row, and paste. 4. This will give you another listing. Repeat as required. 5. When you have as many items as you need, resplit the merged cell in the top row of each item. 6. The template creator has not formatted the Position/Date rows as "Keep with next," but you should do this to prevent them from being separated from the Location/Details row below. -- Suzanne S.

I'm glad you got it working. It really was a very poorly designed template.
