Today at my request, Melissa reworked my CV and cover letter templates so they tied in with my website (thanks Melissa 🙂). Because they were already Word documents, she reworked them in Word (rather than Adobe inDesign which would have been her preference).

Is this trick going to make me a better web developer? No… But maybe it will prove useful for someone else who has to work with Word against their better judgement one day?
If you’re curious, here’s a taster from the finished products. I added the logo in the top left of the cover letter for balance:
