Hi,

I want to know how I can make Table Headings word wrap so the Table doesn't
go beyond the page?

Cheers,

Piragash

I'm sorry, but you're not providing enough information. Could
you post sample code that shows your problem?

The way I normally do it is to use a fixed-width column.
eg.

\begin{tabular}{|p{1.2in}|p{2in}|}
...

That should correctly word wrap as you expect, though you have to specify
your column widths manually.

Hi Michael,

Thanks, that worked :-) Has anyone used a resume cls or sty ? I tried some
off the net, and they were alright. Have any of you done your resumes in
LaTeX?

I actually did my resume in HTML for awhile, but printing it varied from
problematic to downright nightmare. A Latex-generated PDF is definately
the way to go for resumes.

The class I used is an old one from:

Of course! I also feel compelled to insert the \LaTeX{} macro in it.

I wrote the template myself (it's not a cls or sty file) but it uses the
ifthen package to include or exclude lines so that I can build customised
résumés.
