i am a newbie on LaTeX. After writing a simple code

\documentclass[margin,line]{res}
\begin{document}

 \begin{tabbing}
  Sample1  \` sample2 \\ 
\end{tabbing}

\begin{resume}
\end{resume}


\end{document}

I got an output with a black underline.

                                    Sample1                                              sample2

but the Sample1 lies just at the center of the page, not at the left side. What I want is to display Sample1 in the left side, and Sample2 on the right side. I need a code for that with tabbing. How is this possible ?

Okay, my advice is not to do this, but if you need to arm-wrestle res into doing what you describe you could:

\documentclass[margin,line]{res}

\begin{document}

\hspace{-33mm}sample1 \hfill sample2

\begin{resume}
\end{resume}

\end{document}

However, it would be a much better idea to find a resume that looks like you want, and adapt that code, rather than forcing this.

The length of -33mm is something I got by tinkering. If it doesn't look quite right to you, you can adjust it.

  • The OP uses the res rather than the article document class. With the res document class in use, your code doesn't succeed in pushing "Sample 1" all the way to the left hand side of the text block. – Mico Oct 29 '13 at 18:40
  • Ah... I didn't notice that. I think it's the margin option for res that pushes it right. – kmacinnis Oct 29 '13 at 18:56
  • @kmacinnis: You are shy about 0.4pt in your "tinkering". :) You should rather use \hspace{-1.3in}, as the margin class option sets a section width of 1.3in. – Werner Oct 29 '13 at 21:20
