Q: When I attempt to print any of my saved resumes, the page always comes out with the file name at the bottom left of the page, along with the "Page 1 of 2" at the top right, and "Resume..." at the top left. How do I fix this?

Open your resume in Resume Builder.
On the File menu, select Page Setup. The program displays the Page Setup dialog

Preview dialog box, you can click the Page Setup tool tip image or press Alt+U.

Q: When I try to install the program, it comes up with an error message: “File instmsia.exe not found.” Can you help?
A: Microsoft updated their installation program after they released Windows 98. Our software requires that you have the updated installer.
We do not include it in the download, because it increases the size of the
download. Also, most users have already installed the latest Windows installer.
If you get the previous error message, you can download a free upgrade file and
run it to update your Windows installer. And, then, run the Resume Builder
Installer again.
You can read more about the installer at the Microsoft web site:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q305496
Click one of the following links to download a 1.4 Mb file.
Important: Microsoft creates and distributes this software.
Therefore, Sarm Software cannot guarantee the software effectiveness or
compatibility with your computer.
- If you have Windows 95/98/Me, download:
http://www.sarmsoft.com/setup/instmsia.exe
If you have Windows NT 4.x, download:
- http://www.sarmsoft.com/setup/instmsiw.exe
After you download the file, run the program and start the Resume Builder
installer again.
Q: When I print the resume, I have the Footer and Title. How can I remove them?
A: Resume Builder uses the same setup as does Internet Explorer. Open Internet
Explorer and then select the File-> Page Setup-> Footer and Header menu
item. Select and edit these items.
Q: Where can I find Cover Letter examples?
A: Resume Builder has several examples of cover letters. You are free to use them. Run Resume Builder, open the Send Resume via
E-mail dialog box, and click the Cover Letter examples button.
Q: Can I print, export or send via e-mail selected parts of the resume?
A: The Resume Builder database engine is divided into Published Sections, each of
them mirroring one of available sections of a resume. These sections are:
Personal Information, Objective, Summary, Educational History, Employment
History, Honors/Awards, Skill Areas, References, Publications, Licenses and Certification, Military History. You can work with
each of these sections individually, such as print, export, send via e-mail, and
upload any of the sections to an ftp site.
Q: I have downloaded the newest version of the program, and it seems to have more features of what I need. What are the chances you would send me the unlock code for this version, so I can use it instead of the old one? Can we swap?
A: Yes. Once you purchase your registration code, you will receive free licenses to
future versions of Resume Builder.
