In word, on my girlfriend's computer, it shows up on one page. But, after I convert it to pdf through Google Docs, it's two pages. Therein lies my problem.<br />2) I don't even know what metadata is. You have surpassed my computer knowledge.<br />3) Since I'll be doing some work at my old firm, I'm actually just going to use the computer there to send out my resume.

I only finally shelled out the cash for Microsoft Office because Open Office doesn't play nice with 2007 or 2010 Powerpoint and law professors love their Powerpoint.<br /><br />I find Open Office hardly affects the way Word docs look, and you can save it in Word format just the same. It's a million times better than it used to be. <br /><br />Go for the medical supplies, if it will make you good money. The contract work sounds good, and maybe he'll realize he wants you back and to make you a real lawyer!Shanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04341754795161792642noreply@blogger.com
