Text Formatting ⇒ Formatting of Paragraphs in Resume

[TomGeronimo]

Hey,

I'm pretty new to this whole game. I'm currently using a template to build my resume, which went just fine. I'm currently trying to build a cover letter template that matches the basic format of my resume. I have it now so the header works the same, but when I type, all the text is indented about a quarter of the way across the screen. To have the header work, I have the following.

Code: Select all

\begin{document}
\name{(my name)}
\address{(my address)}
\begin{resume}
\end{resume}
Dear _____
blah blah blah

The only way I've been able to move the cover letter part over to the left is by doing \hspace*{-2cm}, but this is not a good option because it only works on a line by line basis and I want my entire letter moved over. How can I accomplish this?

Thanks

Hi Tom,

welcome to the forum!

Please post a minimal working example, so we can verify the problem. Until now, we don't even know which document class you are using.
