Applicability

Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation granted computers running Windows 2000 or XP.
 

Why Do This?

Because MS Word is installed with all possible language options, the English resume templates and wizards become hard to find. As installed, these templates are under the Other Documents tab in the New Document window, while many foreign language templates are under the Resume tab. This utility will put copies of the resume templates under the General tab so they are the first thing to show up in New Document.
 

Before You Begin

You must have the Centurion Guard key available and know the password for the exec account.
