This file contains information about The Resume Kit including changes made in the program since the manual went to the printer.
The Resume Kit for the Macintosh requires a Macintosh Plus, SE or II with 1 Mg of memory, an 800K drive, System software version 4.2 or later and Finder version 6.0 or later.
When selecting font, size and style for your resume (using the Font screen under the Format menu), please note that "Plain Text" will always appear in the Style window, regardless of the style chosen. Multiple styles may be chosen (such as Bold and Italic), but the window can only show one style. Clicking and holding on the Style window will show a menu of styles, with a check mark next to the chosen style(s).
A spell checker has been added to the program. The function works by field. To use the spell checker, place the cursor in the field you wish to spell check. Select "Check Spelling" from the Spell menu. The questionable word will appear in a field called "Questionable Word," and will also appear marked in a field called "Change to." To change the spelling of a word, simply type in the correct spelling and click " Change." If no change is required click "No Change." You may also select the options "Change All" and "Add Word." Clicking "Change All" will search the field for all words which match the questionable word and change them to what you specifiy as the change to word. Note that though you changed all instances of the questionable word, the spell checker may still question those words if they are not in the main dictionary or your personal user dictionary. To add a word to you personal user dictionary, click "Add Word" when that word is in the questionable word field. You may also click "Cancel" at any time to stop all operations and return to what you were doing.
A few new features have been added to Page Preview. When you enter Page Preview, a new menu item will appear called "Preview." Selecting "Full Page" from the Preview menu will allow you to view a scaled down full page layout of your resume.
When in regular Page Preview, double-clicking on any section of your resume will allow you to edit it from Page Preview. Please note that if you double-click on a section title, you will only be able to edit the title, and not access section entries from that edit. The same holds true for double- clicking on a section entry; you will not be able to access the section title from that edit.
After adding new names to the contact database, exit the contacts module and re-enter it to then scroll through all entries.
Pages 11 incorrectly states "To add a new title..., double-click on an asterisked line.." To add a new title, double-click on a blank line. Page 62 states this information correctly.
Page 21 incorrectly states that you may select the type of bullet character you prefer. The Resume Kit uses only the filled circle bullet character (also achieved by pressing <Command><8>).
Page 23 shows dates for work experience flush left with job description. Position dates will actually appear flush with the right margin of your resume.
On pages 36 and 37, the "Revert" function was not mentioned. If, while customizing your resume, you wish to cancel out changes made to the Fonts screen, clicking Revert will return your previous settings. Page 100 states this information correctly.
Page 38 states that the Layout option under the Format menu allows you to indicate page breaks, horizontal lines, and double-spaces. Page breaks are positioned graphically through Page Preview. Horizonal lines may only be placed between your name and address and the body of you resume. This is also done through Page Preview. You may insert double spaces in your resume. First select new section titles through the main resume information screen. Leave section titles blank and select "Title Only" as the category. In Layout, select these "blank" sections and copy
them to the layout of your resume at those places where you wish to have a double space.
Pages 47 and 91 of the manual states that font, size, and style of type in the Writer is determined by currently selected font, size, and style for Headings on the Font screen under the Format menu. Font, size and style in the Writer is now determined by currently selected font, size and style for the Body of Text on the Font screen under the Format menu. Please note this in your manual.
To remove a section from your resume, or change the section caregory (from Free Form to Skills/Activities/Awards, for example), you must first remove all entries from that section.
A number of individuals who assisted in Quality Assurance testing are not mentioned in the manual. They are: Robert Bowers, Chistopher Charla, Eric Heit, and Anatoly Kleyman.
