CV template Google Docs notes: what to expect after opening

Our files use only features that Google Docs supports: headings, bullets, tab stops and simple tables. They contain no macros, embedded charts or SmartArt, which Google lists as not supported when editing Office files. Arial and Times New Roman are available in Docs, so the fonts stay the same. Line spacing can differ slightly from Word.
