[Web4lib] Resume writing programs

[robin]

We have stayed with the templates provided in MS Word. The reason for this
is that the resumes created can be edited or updated on any machine running
Word, i.e. most of them; if you use a proprietary package, you can only
modify a resume on another machine running the same software. Maybe not a
huge issue for most but a critical one for some users.

I can recommend Winway (www.winway.com) from personal experience.  It
has a template sort of interface so all the formatting is done for you.
 Once the data is entered, you can change styles with one click and
export as either RTF or PDF, a nice feature.
