Microsoft Word resume: update the email address on your resume
Swap an old or informal email for a professional one. This works on the PDF Microsoft Word exported. Word resumes edit cleanly: bold titles, italic dates and bullets are recognised. Calibri and Cambria have open clones with identical widths; Aptos gets the closest open font only with your permission.

How Microsoft Word writes resume PDFs
- • Save as PDF embeds only the letters used, as subset TrueType fonts.
- • Each run of formatting is written as its own piece of text.
- • Tables and rules are drawn as lines around positioned text.
What happens to the rest of your resume
- • The contact row keeps its spacing and icons.
- • To make the address clickable, select it and press Ctrl+K.
Questions people ask
+Will the old mailto link still point to the old address?
Select the address and press Ctrl+K to set the new link.
+Is it better to edit in Microsoft Word?
If you still have the Microsoft Word version and a lot to change, yes. For a quick fix to the PDF you already sent, editing the PDF is faster.
