Microsoft Word--Resume....How do I add more "work experience"?

I'm a computer klutz, but I was trying t do a resume for my grandson. I got the template set up, and started to fill it in. But, after the first "work experience", I couldn't figure out how to add more jobs and experience. Help!



Microsoft Word--Resume....How do I add more "work experience"?microsoft vista



Generally, the best way to set up a resume is to use a two-column table to structure the text horizontally and vertically. Insert such a table this way:



1. Click where you want the table to go.



2. Click the Table-%26gt;Insert-%26gt;Table menu item.



3. Put a 2 in the Number of columns text box.



4. Put a 5 in the Number of rows text box. (This is almost always too few, but it's a good starter. You can add more rows later with the Table-%26gt;Insert-%26gt;Rows Below or Table-%26gt;Insert-%26gt;Rows Above menu item.)



5. Click OK.



6. Adjust the column sizes by moving the slider between them on the Ruler line.



Usually the left-hand column should be much narrower than the right and hold broad categories: Education, Work Experience, etc. The right-hand column holds details: schools attended, with dates. Companies worked for, again with dates. Put only one item on a row, and don't even think about supplying text in all the left-hand cells.



Turn off the table borders and internal lines so the text just seems to float. Here's how to do that:



1. Click in the table.



2. Click on the Table-%26gt;Table Properties menu item.



3. Click on the Borders and Shading button.



4. In the preview pane, click on all the lines to make them disappear.



5. OK out of everything.



If you have Table-%26gt;Show Gridlines selected, you'll still see fainter lines where the borders were, but if you click on File-%26gt;Print Preview, they should disappear.



That should be enough to get you started. Good luck.
