You're fighting LaTeX by deciding on a layout in advance. This will be painful. :-) (though you can do this in any of the environments discussed so far, tabbing or tabular.) If you really want a particular layout, StarOffice will prove easier; LaTeX is not made for this. Using latex, it is probably easier to either use some of the resume.sty files floating around the net - don't ask me where to get them, but I have seen them. For my resume, I made up some m4 macros, then implemented html and LaTeX versions of them, and wrote the resume with the macros. This allowed me to generate both print and HTML output. I'll attach my (hacky and kind of lame) latex macros, perhaps they will give you some ideas (ignore the m4 stuff, just extract the latex): Havoc
