I'm seriously thinking that the solution is to use HTML as the source format, not Word. Wacky.
Why not just post PDF created directly from the Word source. It can still be hyperlinked, if that's important (though I'm pressed to think why), and it prints much more nicely than HTML!
Well, two big reasons for me:
+ I get a significant number of my contacts from people who have found my resume
through a web search, and a surprisingly large number of those are using search engines
other than google (which indexes PDF files). I would like to retain that function.
+ Nine years ago I wrote one of the first books on HTML. It's kind of required that I do
an HTML resume. (Although I also wrote a book on Java and no one has asked me
for my Java-based resume yet. Actually that might be kinda cool. :)
Re: printing: with CSS these days there's a lot you can do to improve HTML printing. You
can actually specify page breaks and margins and leading and everything. Of course
you'll need different style sheets for screen and print, but that's not hard. I find CSS a lot more
comfortable to work with than style sheets in Word, but then I'm a markup kinda gal.

hey I know I could write my resume in C++. You'd have to compile it to read it... OK no.
