Access the Text Editor
Our text editor includes text emphasis options (bold, italicize, and underline), hyperlinking, and the ability to turn paragraph text into a bulleted list.
To access the editor, click the pencil icon to open the edit textbox for any content within your Resume Builder and highlight the text you would like to modify. You'll see a floating menu appear above the highlighted content with your formatting options.
Bold, Italicize, and Underline Text
In the textboxes within your Resume Builder sections, you can emphasize particular details by bolding (icon: "B"), italicizing (icon: slanted "I"), or underlining (icon: "U" with a line below it) them.
To unbold, un-italicize, or remove underline from text, highlight the content you'd like to undo the changes for and click their associated editing icon.
Turn Paragraph Content Into Bulleted List
In your resume, you may want to separate certain details within paragraphs into bulleted statements/lists to make them stand out and easier to read.
First, separate the text you want to turn into a bulleted list from the paragraph by placing it on a new line. You can do this by clicking your pointer at the very beginning of the text you'd like to move and pressing the "Enter" or "Return" key on your keyboard.
Then, highlight the text you want to itemize and click the bulleted list icon.
After you've created the initial list, you can add more bullet points (press the "Enter" or "Return" key again) or make other edits as necessary to make the content easily readable.
NOTE: Since your work experience bullet points are automatically formatted as a bulleted list, you won't see this option within that particular textbox. However, you'll still be able to use the other editing functions like bolding, italicizing, underlining, and hyperlinking.
Hyperlinking Text
To hyperlink text, highlight the content you'd like to hyperlink and click the linking chains icon.
Paste your URL in the field that appears and press the "Enter" or "Return" key on your keyboard to link the text to the URL. Click the "Save" button to save your edits.
NOTE: Although you can quickly see what text is hyperlinked within your Resume Builder editor, the hyperlinked text is currently not differentiated from your other resume content within the resume preview and exported PDF.
The hyperlinks are still clickable, and we are working on a solution for better distinction between hyperlinked and non-hyperlinked text that we hope to release in the future!
To edit a hyperlink, highlight the linked text. Make any changes you'd like to the URL within the field and press your "Enter" or "Return" key to save.
To remove a hyperlink, click the unlinked chains icon to the right of the entry field.
Clear All Text Formatting
