> Hi. Juan. > My comments below. I'll explain what happens. There really isn't an alignment issue. TeX by default applies a first line indent to paragraphs. It also defaults to applying English typographical conventions, as is the case in your document, where the first paragraph following a section is not indented. This is what is happening :): section no indent ------------- indent ---------- indent ---------- Another more general typographical convention is that when paragraphs are separated by a vertical space, they do not need to indent the first line, as it is a redundant mark. Besides, you are making paragraph separation by direct format (\bigskip). I usually recommend not applying direct format in LaTeX, or applying it as little as possible. To disable the first line indentation and make the paragraphs have a space between them, it is enough that you add this: #+LaTeX_Header: \parindent=0em\parskip=\bigskipamount That way, you're giving the first line indentation a global value of zero and a paragraph spacing value equivalent to \bigskip, and you don't need to put a \bigsip every time you start a paragraph. On the other hand, this code at the end does not give you an error? \makebox[1.5in]{\hrulefill} \hspace {1.0in} \\ & John Doe \\ & ID: XXXXXXXX\\ best regards, Juan Manuel
