Are you encountering this problem that whenever you open a word document you see that the tracked changes are visible and the markup is enabled? To read it every time I was disabling the markup but what if you have to send the important document to someone for review. Well, the trick is simple. Just enable the track changes by clicking Tools -> Track Changes and You will now see a reviewing toolbar. In the accept changes icon, you will see accept all changes. Just click on it and then click save. Close the word document and open again. You will see the word in normal read mode.

The other important thing is that the size of your word document gets tremendously reduced because of the above action. My document was showing 13 MB when the markup was on and after the action the size has reduced to 8 MB

I am composing a huge word document relating to my project. For twenty minutes, I was struck with a weird problem. My TOC (Table of Contents) all of a sudden looked like below when I had updated it. The ToC text has been modified for security reasons but did you notice that 2.6 was not aligned well at all. I used the format painter and copied the format of previous proper looking menus like 2.4, 2.5, etc but in vain.

After few tries, I decided to clear the formatting of 2.6. I recreated 2.6 and the error still persisted. Now I seriously thought that something beyond my reach is going wrong, may be a bug in Microsoft word :). Well, with that feeling I tried my best and to my luck and tries it clicked. What was it that I did to get rid of this error? I clicked on the previous working ToC menu items and found that the numbering icon was enabled for them while it was not for 2.6. With this clue, I cleared the formatting of 2.6 menu item again and ensured that the numbering icon got enabled and then applied the header format to it. Guess what? It worked phew..

1. Present your name and contact as the header of your CV
In the header neatly mention your name as in passport, your address and phone contact details

2. Brief synopsis of who you are
Just at the beginning of your CV, present a brief synopsis of who you are and how many years of total experience you have relating to your work, what are you special skills, etc. This will enable to filter your resume among several thousands easily. Employers can initially decide whether you are the right fit for the job before going for any rounds of interview

3. Maintain the same and professional font through out the CV
A font like Trebuchet size 10 or Arial size 10 or Verdana size 10 or Tahoma size 10 will help you build a clean CV. You can maintain the headings on size 12

4. Keep the information concise and intact
While describing about your work details, be concise. Convey more meaning with brief description. No one wants to keep reading paragraphs about your previous work. Bulleted points will be of great help here

5. Be honest when you reveal your academic results
Nowadays almost all the employers are looking for academic results which includes semester marks, consolidated marks, grades, gross percentage, etc. Be honest in revealing all these details. Take time to calculate them using your mark sheets and be sure to present the same

6. Present your work related information in reverse chronological order
Presenting your latest work details on top matters a lot. The reason is that the employers are much more interested about your current work and want to know more of it. Be sure to highlight your achievements relating to your work

7. Prove your interest on work
By accomplishing certifications related to your work will be an added advantage. This will prove that you have more interest towards to your work and that you are trying to improve better everyday technically. Your resume should talk for you. So present all your certification details along with your academic details

8. Highlight non-work related achievements
Give importance to extra curricular activities, achievements and accolades which are not related to work

9. Keep the CV to a maximum of 4 pages
You have to ensure that you present your information within the 4 pages irrespective of your experience. If you have too many things to mention then my suggestion would be give less details on your initial projects/work. Your latest work needs to be a bit in detail. In extreme cases, you can go up to 5 pages but not more than that

10. Check for spelling and grammar
The most important of all is this step. You need to be doubly sure that the spell check is done in your resume. By having grammar mistakes and spelling errors, you just prove that you are not close to perfect in the beginning itself. So its better to give the best the first time
