Richard,
That's what I thought too. The documentation is, as you point out,
rather sketchy. But with a little effort I managed a very nice looking
CV.
Now the really big problem: most, in fact almost all, advertised job
vacancies only accept resumes in MS Word format. So I had to get my
very nice CV into LibreOffice (where it did not look very nice) and
save it in DOCX format.
Pure curiosity, Les, but have you asked to see if they will accept a PDF
file? I'd tell them those files are far easier to deal with between
programs and platforms, and you don't have to buy Word in order to
create them.
I sometimes think people ask for the Word format out of ignorance of
anything else.
