Operating System: Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) I haven't needed to write a resume since I first got this Office suite. I followed the instructions and the resume templates are missing. There isn't even a button to click for resumes. Help!

Well, I suspect you're not missing much: most of the Resume templates are
horrid, and difficult to work with :)

If I were you, I would simply create your own from a blank document, using a
two-column table. Keep it very simple: the employment agents like to scan
them into a computer using a parser that reduces the resume to unformatted
text. If you get too fancy with the formatting, the machine can miss the
important details, and then your name will not be retrieved when they are
looking for candidates for a specific job.

The Microsoft templates are here:

Make sure your copy of Office is full updated, or you won't be able to open
those.

Cheers
