Hi there Another thing you can do is do most of your work on a resume in TextEdit. I always get a reader to look at a resume, even though I know how to do the formatting things you mentioned. This is because it just helps to get a good reader to evaluate the looks of something that important anyway. If you stick with the Windows computer, you can get Word to save it out in rtf format so you can read yourself in TextEdit and maybe update it, too, even if you have to get a reader look over it again once any updates are done later. Just some thoughts here.
I do think it would be useful for you to learn Pages some time, but a resume is usually a hurry up activity, and you want to learn Pages on something less important. When I learn a program, I always use it for important things and have a backup to check that I have things right.
