The text along the left edge of the paper (Objective, Experience, and so on) is lined up within frames which are anchored to neighboring paragraphs. A very large left margin (2.75 inches) ensures that the body of the resume is indented to the right. Styles ensure consistent formatting for similar elements (Job Title, Company Name, and so on). The areas that say "[Click here and type objective]" are created with the use of macrobutton fields that call a non-existant macro named "NoMacro." This is a clever way of making the whole field selected when you click anywhere on it. Since the "Typing Replaces Selection" option is usually enabled, the instructions will disappear as soon as the you start typing.
