Default Vertical text alignment in two-column document

Word Experts,

I have a CV consisting of a page header w/ name, contact info etc. and two columns beneath the header separated by a column break. The left column has content headers like Professional History, Publications, etc. and the right column has a listing of the relevant information. I like this layout but the problem is, when I add/delete text in the right side column I have to manually adjust the vertical alignment of each of the left column content headers by nudging the text up or down with before/after spaces so that the text in both columns is vertically aligned. This gets tedious. Is there a way to vertically align selected text across two columns in a document? Or maybe a better design solution?

Thanks in advance.

Rather than using columns, why not try putting the information in a 3-column table (with the necessary number of rows inserted) using the 2nd column as a small separator between the 1st and 3rd columns. This should eliminate the manual adjustments you speak of.

Hope this helps...
