I know a lot of these questions have been answered but I still can't get this to work. So I am trying to put Languages and Computer Skills on the same line as shown in the picture. "Languages" I managed to place on the same line to the right by adding \hfill. However, trying to add language skills to the right of "Basic" "Intermediate" and "Advanced" don't work. By work I mean they skip to the next line or don't align with "Basic" etc.

Here is the code:

\spacedlowsmallcaps{Computer Skills}\vspace{2em}\hfill\spacedlowsmallcaps{Languages}

\Description{\MarginText{Basic}\textsc{SQL}, VBA}

\Description{\MarginText{Intermediate}\LaTeX, OpenOffice, Eviews}

\Description{\MarginText{Advanced}\textsc{Microsoft Office}}

P.S my Latex skills are not intermediate (obviously), it came with the package I downloaded.

Thanks!

Edit: I have now managed to do this:

With the following coding:

\spacedlowsmallcaps{Computer     Skills}\vspace{2em}\hfill\spacedlowsmallcaps{Languages}

\Description{\MarginText{Basic}\textsc{SQL}, VBA\hfill\textsc{Swedish}\ \ $\cdotp$\ \ \ \textsc{Native}}

\Description{\MarginText{Intermediate}\LaTeX, OpenOffice, Eviews\hfill\textsc{English}\ \ $\cdotp$\ \ \ \textsc{Fluent}}

\Description{\MarginText{Advanced}\textsc{Microsoft Office}\hfill\textsc{Spanish}\ \ $\cdotp$\ \ \ \textsc{Basic}}

However I would like them to be centered around the dot

Packages and document:

\documentclass{scrartcl}
\reversemarginpar 
\newcommand{\MarginText}[1]{\marginpar{\raggedleft\itshape\small#1}} 
\usepackage[nochapters]{classicthesis} 
\usepackage[LabelsAligned]{currvita} 
\usepackage{multicol}
\usepackage{array}
\renewcommand{\cvheadingfont}{\LARGE\color{Blue}} 
\usepackage{hyperref} 
\hypersetup{colorlinks, breaklinks, urlcolor=Blue, linkcolor=Blue} 
\newcommand{\NewEntry}[3]{\noindent\hangindent=2em\hangafter=0 \parbox{\datebox}{\small \textit{#1}}\hspace{0em} #2 #3

  • Welcome to TeX.SX! A tip: If you indent lines by 4 spaces or [enclose words in backticks ```](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/863), they'll be marked as code, as can be seen in my edit. You can also highlight the code and click the "code" button (with "{}" on it). – ebosi Dec 07 '16 at 08:03
  • What you want to do is make a two column environment. Unfortunately I'm on mobile so can't help much more. There a loads of good examples if you google that. Start with http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/285444/112665 – swoop dewoop zoom Dec 07 '16 at 08:21
  • Thanks, will look it up! Should be noted I am currently working in overleaf instead of Texmaker because of the template I wanted to use – Niklas Sköld Dec 07 '16 at 08:41
  • You possibly need a tabular environment, but it's very hard to say from the fragment you have posted. Can you post a complete (but minimal) example that other people can compile? Ideally the example should not depend on any particular environment like overleaf or TeXmaker... – Thruston Dec 07 '16 at 08:54
  • Do you want the whole document or what I want to add to the Language section? I'm a bit of a newbie on the subject.. – Niklas Sköld Dec 07 '16 at 11:48
  • any news from you? – Zarko Jan 06 '17 at 22:46

as mentioned in the comments above, you are looking for a tabular like formatting with four columns.

Unfortunately, you didn't tell us, which class and packages you are using in this case. Those \Descriptioncommands are not the basic LaTeX, I'd say.

Nevertheless, you should do fine, with a tabular

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{array}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{@{}rl@{\hspace{1cm}}rl@{}}
\multicolumn{2}{@{}c}{\textsc{Computer Skills}} 
& \multicolumn{2}{c@{}}{\textsc{Languages}}\\
Basic & VBA, SQL & Swedish & nativ \\
Intermediate & \LaTeX{}, Openoffice, Eviva & English & fluent\\
Advanced & MS Office & Spanish & Basic
\end{tabular}
\end{document}

  • Thanks Jan! Helped a lot. Unfortunately I did not understand the request earlier. I will post the class and packages above – Niklas Sköld Dec 07 '16 at 21:05
  • You are welcome, Niklas. If my answer helped, please leave a +1.

    It still would be helpfull, to have a complete MWE (Minimal Working Example) in your question.
