This should be EASY for y'all to answer for me...
I'm providing my resume in .html format, but when I convert it, the lines go ALL the way across the page! How do I tell the browser to word wrap at, say, 120 characters or 6.5"?

Found it, <RIGHTMARGIN=###> in the body tag.

Well, that fixes it if the browser is full-screen, but I want to make it a certain width until the browser is narrowed to that point, regardless of the right edge.

Dunno if this helps you but one way to control your page width in HTML is to put all your stuff in a table. Here's an example (using parens instead of brackets to avoid HTML interpretation):
<PRE> (TABLE BORDER="0" WIDTH="600")
(TR)
(TD)
(P)Your stuff would go here in whatever tags you're using(/P)
(/TD)
(/TR)
(/TABLE)</PRE>The WIDTH attribute of the TABLE tag can either be given in pixels (as it is above) or as a percent value, for ex:
<PRE> (TABLE BORDER="0" WIDTH="100%")</PRE>Paul

I was really trying to stay away from tables (fear of the unknown I suppose), but I guess there's no reason why I couldn't have a singlecell table. Thanks!
