On resume, I want to put horizontal line between certain lines- for example between 'EXPERIENCE' and then first job listing below on next line. If I simply start underlining EXPERIENCE and continue across page, the thickness of line changes so that does not work. If I click FORMAT then BORDERS AND SHADING then HORIZONTAL LINE, the line that I insert takes a full single line space.
MS Word has a tool called Breaks which is a very handy option when it comes to breaking a section or applying page breaks. The additional space that gets embedded between sections gives a decent. To space text evenly on the page in Microsoft Word, follow the appropriate instructions below. Note: Because the last line of text in a paragraph is often shorter than the other lines, it may not appear This will insert a soft return (i.e., a non-paragraph-ending return). Be aware that justifying a very short.
So there is EXPERIENCE, then next line is the horizontal line I put in, then next line is first job listing. I want the horizontal line I put in to not add any space between EXPERIENCE and first job, or at most to add a 1/4 line. The Underline feature would be perfect if the thickness of the line was the same all the way across. Any help would be much appreciated. Well, you were headed in the right direction, you just chose the wrong option:-) Click in the Experience paragraph then go to Format> Borders & Shading. Instead of Horizontal Line choose a color if you wish, pick a weight, then click in the Preview area to apply the Border to the Bottom of the paragraph only. If you just want to accept the default color & weight you can use the Borders button in the Paragraph group on the Home tab rather than going into the Borders & Shading dialog.

Word is kludgy (that’s a technical term!) when it comes to inserting objects from other applications — including from other Office apps. When you insert a file as an object, only ONE page of the file is displayed in Word. Too bad if your file has multiple pages as most do. Carol’s problem was with a multi page PDF she had created from Excel (the original was a large text table — nothing fancy).
The spreadsheet was fairly wide, and she had created the PDF using an A3 paper size. The resulting document was seven pages long. She wanted to insert it in her Word document as an Appendix but to date it had beaten her.
So she asked me for help. And that’s when I discovered that Word’s ‘Insert Object from file’ function only inserts the first page of the file. Which is just stupid. And is just useless for most people in the business world where multiple page documents are the norm. (The links below this post confirm that only one page is inserted — most of the information in these links is from Microsoft Word MVPs, people who have much more knowledge about this stuff than I do.) I tested several options — I was able to get the PDF into the Word document, but not without a fair bit of trial and error. In essence, you’ll save the PDF pages as images, then insert those images into Word.
I told you it was kludgy! I’ve documented some methods below — the method YOU use will depend on the software you have. If you have full Acrobat (NOT Adobe Reader), then you have a better chance of getting a decent result, than if you don’t (use Method 1). If you don’t have full Acrobat, but have graphics software that will take screen captures, then use Method 2. And if you have neither full Acrobat nor a screen capture program, then you’ll have difficulty achieving your goal of inserting a PDF file into Word (see Other Options).
Method 1: Using full Acrobat • Open the PDF in Acrobat (NOT Adobe Reader). • Select File > Save As from the menu (I’m using Acrobat Professional 9, but later versions should work similarly). • Click the drop-down arrow next to Save as type to see the available file types. • Select one of these: JPG, PNG, or TIF. In my testing, the results from each file type were similar — TIF had a *slightly* crisper text quality and added about 700 KB to the Word document for EACH page saved from the PDF; JPG and PNG were similar in text quality (and only marginally fuzzier than TIF in the printed output) — they added about 900 KB and 150 KB respectively per page to the Word document’s size. I suggest you do your own testing of the on screen and printed resolutions of the various file formats to find the best for you. • Click Save.
