Text Formatting ⇒ Wrapping text in column with CV in LaTeX

[meena]

Hi,

I am creating my CV using Latex. When I want to include the month in the item, it does not wrap the text but the text extends to the adjacent column. I want the text to remain inside the column and wrap the text. Please someone help me to fix this problem.

Code: Select all

\section{University}
\begin{CV}\addtolength{\itemsep}{-.5\baselineskip}
\item[Apr 1989 - May 2003] Bachelor of Technology

Thanks in advance,

Meena

Hi Meena,

which package(s) are you using to write your CV? The best would be if you post a minimal working example, you don't need to copy personal details into it.

Hi Stefan_k,

Thanks

Hi,

Sorry, with the previous minimal working example, you cannot see my problem clearly. Here is the updated MWE.

Hi Mina,

this CV package is a bit old, very small and limited. Introducing wrapping in labels could be a bit complicated.

Perhaps have a look at the section Writing Applications for a Job/ CV in the TeX Catalogue, there are other packages, for instance moderncv is recommendable.
