Hello All,

Alright i have to send a resume to someone and like MS word doesn't recognize words like MySQL, and most of my bullets are fragments, so i get lots of green and red squigglys to indicate the errors.

Well i have the resume like it should be, is there a way to make sure the recipient will not see the squiggly red and green errors, is there a way i can do that do the document?

Thanks in Advance...

Just a quick guess, but are you using any fancy type of font in your resume. If such is the case, and the person on the other computer opens your resume, and it will sub the font you used with the most similiar font on their computer. Try using a basic font like times new roman, that may fix your problem.

I doubt it. Unless the person who's looking at it has their copy of Word set to recognize words like MySQL and ignore sentence fragments, it's gonna display the lines regardless. If possible, why don't you make a PDF file out of your resume? That would solve your problem.

I always thought that most employers requested plain text in online resumes so that Word won't get in the way like it is doing to you.
