resume won't upload with margins/tabs intact

[Guest]

help! I am trying to send a resume from Word 2003 (in Windows XP) to Yahoo
hot jobs. When I view the document in Word it is fine, but when I upload it
to Yahoo it comes out with the indents all messed up. I cannot find a way to
make it work. Anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Don't know anything about Yahoo hot jobs, but as a general principle, if you
want to preserve formatting, use a PDF, not a Word document.

I suspect that Yahoo is converting the item to HTML or Plain Text format.
If they are, your tab settings will be wiped out by that process.

What, exactly, do you mean by "indents"? In Word, that's a technical term
that describes the distance between a paragraph and the document left or
right margin. Is that what you mean?

Cheers
