How can i fix my alignment issue in word 2008 for mac? Resume.?
I am writing to company name on right margin, and the date on the left margin. But when I get the first letters of all the companies to line-up on the left side, the dates are slightly askew on the left. Even if I mess around with adding in extra spaces, i can’t get it perfect. Is there a tool in word to fix this?
The same line CAN have both left- and right-aligned elements. There are several types of tab stops on Word’s horizontal ruler. The normal one is the left-tab, where the text is left-justified against the tab stop, but there are two others: centered-tab and right-tab.
To attach them to a paragraph’s ruler, do this (instructions are for Word for Windows):
1.Right-click in the paragraph and select Paragraph.
2.Click the Tabs button.
3.Click the type of Alignment you want for the tab stop.
4.In the Tab stop position text box, enter the position you want the tab stop to go into.
5.Click Set.
6.For another tab stop, repeat the above steps.
7.Click OK.
Now to get the lines the way you want, type your left-text normally, then press the Tab key, then your right-text.
Hope that helps.

A line can be left aligned or right aligned. The same line can’t be both. You can make a table, one row by 2 columns, the full width of the page, and align the columns differently. (Hide the borders.)
