Text Alignment for Resume

[brishook1]

I am trying to align my text appropriately for my resume. I need the page to
be left justified, but also flush on the right side. My professional field
requires a unique kind of resume. On the left, I list the description, but
then all the way to the right, I have to put the date. When I tab/space over,
the fight edge is not flush.

Any suggestions?

Set a right aligned tab at the right margin

Graham,

Thanks for your response, but I am still a little lost. I don't (fully)
understand how to set a right aligned tab, and how do I then enter the text
so that it is aligned. Right now I enter the text on the left, then space
over to the right and enter that portion. Even if I try to align with the
spacebar, it is still uneven.

Thanks,
Brian

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/SettingTabs.htm. After you insert a
right tab stop at the right margin, you type the text you want on the left,
press Tab, then type the text you want on the right.

Yes Yes...that works great!!!

BUT, how do I set the tabs for the entire document? I can do it on each
line, but can I do it for the whole shabang?

THANKS!
Brian

This is where styles come in. You have a paragraph style that has the tab
settings you want and apply it where you want it.

Or just select the entire document (Ctrl+A) before setting the tab.
