What are the best margins to use for my resume?
There are no required margin settings, but setting margins, for example at .06″-.08″ all around allows for more information to be put on a single page, versus 1-inch margins all around. Your aim should be to create a one-page resume. Wider margins help you accomplish this. Likewise, set “Justify” margin alignment for all of your text, meaning there will be even margins on the left, always, and the right ends of each line as they scroll down, will be even with the right margin. As an example—this paragraph is set with Justified Margins. Note how it is even, left and right. Now look at the paragraphs above, or below this one and they have “Left Justification,” This leaves ragged right-ending lines. So, highlight text you want to Justify then go the menu-bar and find “Alignment and Spacing” or go to the “Formatting Palette.” In either case, you want to click on the icon, on the far right, that shows 5-lines all of equal length.
