Plain text resume

[Bradw]

Back again with a resume' question now that I have the other problem solved.
The instructions from the Univ. I'm sending it to requests that it be plain
text and states "Remove all tabs and replace them with spaces or line
brakes. Make sure all the lines end where you want them to. Be aware that
in some programs the unbroken lines wrap differently than they do in your
word processing program". I know what a tab is, and a space, but a line
break?, wrap differently? It's all new to me. Can anyone explain what
they're saying in easy English???

Hi Brad,

You create a line break simply by pressing "Enter" at the end of the line
instead of letting it wrap around on its own.

If the university says "Remove all tabs and replace them with spaces or
line brakes (sic)" then you need a better university
or it doesn't say that and you are going to have to pay more attention when
you get there!

A text document will wrap the text to the screen of the current application
in which it is viewed. What is required is that at the end of every line you
dictate where the text wraps by pressing enter (a line break - or new
paragraph) so when it is printed out it appears the way you intended. e.g.
like my sig. block below. Do your formatting in Notepad .
