Microsoft Sucks

Ok yeah the formatting on the post doesn't show you anything but the problem is that one space is too much (hangs off the edge), and a backspace is too much in the wrong direction. Hope that makes sense.

lol

I don't quite understand your problem, but have you tried setting up some tabs? That could help your spacing problem. If you don't know how to set them, let me know and I can try to explain...

And I agree, Microsoft completely sucks... but this is the least of Microsoft's problems lol

Ok let me try rephrasing this. I managed to get both Cumulative GPA and Major GPA lined up vertically, but the closest I can get SAT to align is slightly to the right of the first two. And if I backspace the SAT to move it back left, it moves way too far left. So I basically cannot get all three to line up because it seems like they move on different space lengths. And no, haven't tried setting up tabs, don't know what that is. Can you explain that?

Put all those on the same line and separate them by a tab space. Its what I do on a resume and it will free up two lines with more important info than your SAT scores..like what you did during your internship.

Haha, I love that you just basically pasted the same thing twice in the post box.

Anyway, I think your problem is variable width fonts. What this means is that each letter is a different width, so two five letter words take up different amounts of horizontal space (most fonts are like this).

You can either deal with it, or change to a fixed-width font (which mostly all look like crap).

Are SAT scores even important?

Actually, word does have a methodology. Activate the "ruler" and you'll see that if you click it in, it adds a "tab break." Essentially, your next tab will go to this spot. You can change the type of tab break by clicking on the image of the tab break to the left of the ruler.

There are various different types of tab breaks. Some tab breaks will act like a "right justification" for every letter typed AFTER the tab. This is an effective way of aligning all your dates on the right and also aligning text on the same line on the left.

Play with it a little bit, you'll get it.

What CompBanker said.

Haha had the identical problem last year and just went with it being off by a pixel or two. Got an IBD offer...

If you can't figure out the tabbing method (which would be your best bet), then just insert a table w/ 3 rows and format each cell right aligned. If you get the job you'll know far too much about formatting in Office after your tenure is through.
