Inside vertical borders in a resume

[Sandy Sue]

I'm revising my resume but running into a problem. I've noticed on several
resumes that a small vertical line, sometimes shaded, is next to the person's
name and all of their info is on the right side of the line (address,
city,state, zip, email, phone). Sometimes the borders are in the body of the
resume. How do I create those lines in a resume?

There are several possibilities but the simplest is the use of Tables. Apply
the preferred Borders to the Table cells.

You might consider looking for a resume template that's already designed
that way.

P.S. - I neglected to mention that if you decide to go it on your own you
should find this useful:

I wouldn't advise that route, though. Every résumé template I've ever seen
has used a table, and if the résumé requires something more elaborate than
can be achieved with hanging indents and tabs, a table is the way to go
(especially if borders are wanted).

I agree whole-heartedly - simply threw it out there "just in case"
