Default special formatting

I have spent endless hours tinkering with different methods to create a references list to include with resumes and job applications. To date I have not been able to format the document to provide the professional appearance I desire.

Here are the details of the format I wish to create:

  • centered bold title line
  • two to four blank spaces after title line
  • two vertical columns displaying references
  • pleasing vertical spacing between references
  • horizontal alignment of first line of side by side references
  • six to ten references containing six or seven lines single spaced, left justified
  • ability to shuffle location of references
  • easy editing without creating a new document
  • a "fit to page" feature to give the appearance of complete information all in one place
Can someone supply me with instructions for creating a document or creating and using a template with these criteria?

Thanks for your assistance,
w.learning

EDIT:

I found the solution and don't feel like the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Of the many formats I had attempted was creating a table in Word. I did not like the appearance of the lines/borders. I had not realized that Word provides the option to remove them. Further research led to instructions provided in EHow.

I now have the ability to create an editable format as described above by creating a table in Word and removing lines/borders.
