WEBVTT Kind: captions Language: en 00:00:08.420 --> 00:00:13.060 You know, I really do like this template and my resume looks good so far. 00:00:13.060 --> 00:00:17.180 I've finished filling out all the sections that came with the template and I've even 00:00:17.180 --> 00:00:23.250 added a new section at the bottom that highlights the awards I've won.As you can see, I've received 00:00:23.250 --> 00:00:27.160 so many awards that they don't all fit on one page. 00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:31.750 Resumes don't have to be one page, but this one is so close that I'd like to make it all 00:00:31.750 --> 00:00:33.350 fit. 00:00:33.350 --> 00:00:37.780 If I change my paragraph and line spacing, it just may work. 00:00:37.780 --> 00:00:42.170 First, I'm going to select the text that I want to modify. 00:00:42.170 --> 00:00:46.540 I think if I can get these lines a little closer together then it will all fit on one 00:00:46.540 --> 00:00:48.240 page. 00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:53.721 All I need to do now is go to the Paragraph group on the Home tab and click the Line Spacing 00:00:53.721 --> 00:00:56.120 Command. 00:00:56.120 --> 00:00:59.530 A menu appears that gives me several choices. 00:00:59.530 --> 00:01:03.920 As you can see there is a check mark beside 2.0. 00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:08.049 This means that my lines of text are double- spaced. 00:01:08.049 --> 00:01:13.049 From here, I have the option of selecting any of these choices to change the spacing. 00:01:13.049 --> 00:01:16.730 Let's left-click 1.0 and change our spacing to single-space. 00:01:16.730 --> 00:01:22.890 If I don't see the spacing options I need I can always click on Line Spacing Options 00:01:22.890 --> 00:01:24.840 towards the bottom of the menu. 00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:28.509 The Paragraph dialog box opens. 00:01:28.509 --> 00:01:33.750 If you look at the Spacing section near the bottom of the dialog box and use the drop-down 00:01:33.750 --> 00:01:38.600 menu under Line spacing you can change the line spacing easily. 00:01:38.600 --> 00:01:44.960 Even better, in the Preview window I can see how it will change the formatting of my text. 00:01:44.960 --> 00:01:48.890 I think this menu is a little overwhelming because you have more options than you'll 00:01:48.890 --> 00:01:57.210 normally ever need to use.This looks better but it still doesn't solve my problem. 00:01:57.210 --> 00:02:02.890 I think I need to remove some of the empty space in the document.I can add space before 00:02:02.890 --> 00:02:08.429 or after a paragraph if a document needs to be spaced a certain way or I can remove that 00:02:08.429 --> 00:02:09.929 space. 00:02:09.929 --> 00:02:14.510 On a resume you can add spacing to make your document look balanced just in-case you don't 00:02:14.510 --> 00:02:19.980 have enough information to fill the page or you can decrease the space between paragraphs 00:02:19.980 --> 00:02:22.920 just in-case you have too much information! 00:02:22.920 --> 00:02:29.860 For example, I can remove space after my last job description to pull my skills section 00:02:29.860 --> 00:02:34.659 up and hopefully move my resume from two pages to one. 00:02:34.659 --> 00:02:40.560 All I need to do is highlight my text, and go back to my Line spacing options, click 00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:46.750 on the drop down arrow, and decide between adding space before or removing space after 00:02:46.750 --> 00:02:48.860 the selected text. 00:02:48.860 --> 00:02:52.319 Since the goal here is to have everything on one page but I still need to I'm going 00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:57.500 to remove space after. 00:02:57.500 --> 00:03:00.800 My resume is still not on one page! 00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:04.760 Sometimes you have to play around with the spacing options because templates can be difficult 00:03:04.760 --> 00:03:05.989 to edit. 00:03:05.989 --> 00:03:11.950 I'm going to remove space from other places on my resume to make everything fit. 00:03:11.950 --> 00:03:16.010 Finally, everything is on one page. 00:03:16.010 --> 00:03:21.250 True, everything is on one page but I still have a few formatting issues to handle. 00:03:21.250 --> 00:03:26.689 I'm going to go back and add a few spaces until my resume is presentable enough to send 00:03:26.689 --> 00:03:27.689 out. 00:03:27.689 --> 00:03:32.879 Use a template to quickly complete a document today and take advantage of all the formatting 00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:35.499 design options that are laid out for you to edit!
