How do I line up text in two different columns??
Help!
I'm very frustrated. I have a resume with two columns - one for dates worked and the second (to the right) describes the job. What I notice is that if I open the document as an attachment (not saved to the computer), the dates in the left column do not line up with the job listing in the right column. If I open the document from a saved location in my computer, it looks fine. So what is happening? This document looks quite silly when opened up from an email ... help! Is there any way to fix the text in the left column so that it is always lined up with the text in the right? Natasha |

Are you using table columns? If not, that's what you should be using. If so,
start a new row wherever you want text to align. -- Suzanne S.

How do I line up text in two different columns??
I am using table columns ... the document is not something I created ... the
framework was already in place and I am editing it. It seems as if a table column was created and I don't particularly want to create rows as the text should flow continuously. The grid option is absent when I try to use it ... do you know why this would be? "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Are you using table columns? If not, that's what you should be using.

By "the grid option" do you mean Show/Hide Gridlines? If you want to synch
text, the only practical way to do it is to start a new row. -- Suzanne S.
