How do I insert a section in a resume?

I downloaded a resume template, but I need to insert a few more employment
history entries. They appear to be in table format, but I'm not certain
about that.

Yes, it's a table. You can add rows in the usual ways, but if you want to
duplicate the formatting, you may need to select two rows (a heading one and
a body one, IIRC) and copy/paste. Or you can try using Table | Insert | Row
Below for the heading and Table | Insert Row Above for the body.

Make sure you have table gridlines displayed (Table | Show Gridlines) so you
can see the cell boundaries; that will help a lot!

In case of a table, you can add a row to the end of the table if you click in
the last cell in the table and press the Tab key.

You can insert row(s) in the middle of a table via Table > Insert > Rows
Above/Rows Below. Word will insert as many rows as you have selected
beforehand.

Thank you both for your replies. I was able to use the copy/paste method,
but it sent the inserted rows to the next page, and that would be fine, but
it removed the grid at the top. How do I correct that? Sorry, but I've
never used Tables in Word before.
