you know I really do like this template
and my resume looks good so far
I finished filling out all of the
sections that came with the template and
I've even added a new section at the
bottom that highlights the awards I've
won as you can see I received so many
awards do they don't all fit on one page
resumes don't have to be one page but
this one is so close that I'd like to
make it all fit if I change my paragraph
and line spacing it just may work first
I'm going to select the text that I want
to modify I think if I can get these
lines a little closer together then it
will all fit on one page all I need to
do now is go to the paragraph group on
the Home tab and click the line spacing
command a menu appears that gives me
several choices as you can see there is
a checkmark beside 2.0 this means that
my lines of texts are double-spaced
from here I have the option of selecting
any of these choices to change the
spacing let's left-click 1.0 and change
our spacing to single space if I don't
see the spacing options I need I can
always click on the line spacing options
towards the bottom of the menu the
paragraph dialog box will then open if
you look at the spacing section near the
bottom of the dialog box and use the
drop-down menu under line spacing you
can change the line spacing easily even
better in the preview window I can see
how it will change the formatting of my
text I think this menu is a little
overwhelming because you have more
options than you'll normally ever need
to use
this looks better but it still doesn't
solve my problem I think I need to
remove some of the empty space in the
documents I can add space before or
after a paragraph if a document needs to
be spaced a certain way or I can remove
that space on a resume you can add
spacing to make your document look
balanced just in case you don't have
enough information to fill the page or
you can decrease the space between
paragraphs just in case you have too
much information for example I can
remove space after my last job
description to pull my skills section up
and hopefully move my resume from two
pages to one all I need to do is
highlight the text and go back to my
line spacing options click on the drop
down arrow and decide between adding
space before or removing space after the
selected text since the goal here is to
have everything on one page I'm going to
remove space after Oh my resume still is
not on one page sometimes you have to
play around with the spacing options
because templates can be difficult to
edit I'm going to remove space from
other places on my resume to make
everything fits finally everything is on
one page true everything is on one page
but I still have a few formatting issues
to handle I'm going to go back and add a
few spaces here and there until my
resume is presentable enough to send out
using templates to quickly complete a
document today and take advantage of all
the formatting design options that are
laid out for you to edit
