LaTeX

[chess]

I am trying to write a CV in LaTeX. This is not really working too well.

Problem: I have three columns of information (one left-aligned for an address, one right-aligned for descriptions of various other details, and one left-aligned for the values of the middle one). I want the end of the largest item in the last column to come to about the right-hand margin, and for the last two columns to stay together somewhat. I can't find a way to do this.

My experience has always been to first get together everything I want to include, which is typically the hard bit, sort it into categories, which is annoying but not too bad, and then give up on formatting it properly and just arranging it so it looks good in whatever program comes to hand, since it mostly has to (1) be printed and (2) emailed to people in word format.

It's been a while since I've done any LaTeX, however I observe the following lines in a source file I did:

\begin{tabular}{llllp{20pt}lp{40pt}}
Arthon Sirtenth & Elven & Ranger & Lv.: & 5 & Exp: & \\
\end{tabular}

(Yep, it was a character sheet).

I deduce that to set up the columns you want

\begin{tabular}{lrp{some appropriate distance}l}
stuff
\end{tabular}

HTH,
