Helvetica

[spreadsheet]

Been advised to use helevicta font.

But it's not on my version of word.

Any ideas?

Do you mean Helvetica, and what version of Word do you have?

This may help...

Yeah that's the one. 2007 I think

Any particular reason why someone has told you to use Helvetica?

According to http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articl...on-your-r-sum- , it's the best font to use on a CV.

I don't know if it is the reason the OP wants to use it but it is the mandatory font for tobacco price lists since the display ban.

You have to buy Helvetica to use it on Windows.

It's pretty hard unless you know exactly what to look for - took me three tries to get 20/20.

I use Arial, and Times New Roman on my CV.

but I will change Times New Roman to Garamond.

Never let me down.

The reason is I submit my CV electronically, and if you use any "special font" that the person who downloads it doesn't have, their system will use another font and make it look crap.

£153 for a font, well I cannot say my answer to that here.

True that mind. I once emailed a word document to a printer guy but when I went to pick up the document was all cock eyed as he didn't have the font I used on his word.

I always used PDFs after that

I have Oriental font support loaded so Chinese and Japanese sites look correct. Most don't so they get loads of little squares with hex numbers in.

Same applies elsewhere. Using a default Windoze font is the most compatible approach or as you say a PDF.

[qasdfdsaq]

PDFs aren't really a solution given most people are unable or don't know how to actually put the font in the PDF.

[Hom3r]

Plus the fact agencies want word files so the take out information when they show your CV to clients.
