Emailing Your Resume

You need to save the line length changes you made in Step 3 so your resume will look its best in the body of your email. Here's how.

Page 6 of 13

Step 4: Preserve line lengths by saving as Plain Text with Line Breaks. To save the line length changes you made in Step 3, you need to convert your Plain Text document one more time by doing the following:

MS Word 2007

  1. Open MS Word and use the browser to open your Plain Text resume document.
  2. Click the Office button in the upper left corner of your MS Word window; select Save As, and select Other Formats.
  3. Type a new name for this document in the File Name, such as "ResTextBreak."
  4. Directly under this is the Save As Type pull-down menu. From this list, select "Plain Text (.txt)." When the File Conversion window appears on your screen, click "Insert line breaks" under Options. Select "CR/LF" under End Lines With. Then click OK.
  5. Close the document and exit MS Word.
  6. Reopen the resume document ("ResTextBreak.txt") by clicking on its icon in the directory.
  7. Select the entire document and change the font to Times, Arial, or another standard font you like.

MS Word 97-2003

  1. Open MS Word and use the browser to open your Plain Text resume document.
  2. Click File on your toolbar and select Save As.
  3. Type a new name for this document in File Name, such as "ResTextBreak."
  4. Directly under this is the Save As Type pull-down menu. From this list, select "Plain Text (.txt)." When the File Conversion window appears on your screen, click "Insert line breaks" under Options; then click OK.
  5. Click Save to perform the conversion.
  6. Close the document and exit MS Word.
  7. Reopen the resume document ("ResTextBreak.txt") by clicking on its icon in the directory.
  8. Select the entire document and change the font to Times, Arial, or another standard font you like.

Don't worry that the margins automatically reset when you reopen your Plain Text with Line Breaks document. Your line lengths are safely preserved by paragraph returns that were inserted by the conversion.
