I really like the way that resume looks. Good choice! I wonder how it stands up to the automated word scanners recruiters use so much these days to screen online applicants?

I would think that it shouldn't cause a problem. The word scanners recognize the characters, not the font or shading, so the word scanner should pick everything up.

Another way to do this is to insert a table, type text, then change font color and fill table with color.

I also use this technique to quickly insert photographs into a document.

I convert resumes and other documents into PDFs before sending to a third party.
