i have the following in my resume for each prior job:

Company Name¶ - Location
Position, Date Range¶
- accomplishment¶
- accomplishment¶

where the accomplishments are bulleted items

i made the Company Name a heading so that it shows up in the outline...the paragraph after it is hidden so that "- Location" is on the same line, and there is a carriage return after Location.

so first off, is this the right way to do things? after 10+ years of using MS Word, i've just discovered styles...

secondly, what would i do if i want a certain amount of space between each job? ideally, i would like to be able to tell word that the whole group of text is, well, a group, and that there should be space when two such groups adjoin.

but i can't figure out how to do this... the only way i have been able to find is to add vertical space (before) to the heading style that controls Company Name. however, this is not optimal because the first entry will have more lead space than i want. i only want the space in between the job entries.

suggestions? thanks!
