Curve class entries spilling out of page

Question

I intend to use the curve class for my CV but the entries are spilling out of page. Please help.

This is the code for main.tex

Please add the package settings in order to make your MWE compilable — Simon Dispa, Jul 30 '21 at 20:30
Hi Simon. Thank you for the response. I have now included the contents of the settings.sty — ralph, Jul 31 '21 at 01:33

The file settings.sty loads many packages.

The command \listfiles before \documentclass will make a list of all the packages loaded at the end of the .log file.

For example, geometry was loaded by settings.sty, there is not need to do it again, etc.

So before adding another package to settings.sty check if it not already loaded to avoid conflicts. Remember the hyperref should be the last package to be loaded.

A simplified preamble makes the problem go away.

Thank you very much, Simon. It didn't work for me, however. I copied your code verbatim and ran it via TexStudio but it didn't work. I am still getting the "Overfull \hbox (82.29886pt too wide) in alignment" problem — ralph, Aug 01 '21 at 15:30
Thank you @Simon. I am also using TexStudio but it is not working. Am I missing something? — ralph, Aug 03 '21 at 13:09
@ralph I added a file VerySimple.tex to test your environment. Put only this file and grant.tex it in a new working directory and compile. Keep me informed of the result. — Simon Dispa, Aug 03 '21 at 14:25
Thank you very much @Simon. It worked initially, after following your instructions. However, once I modified the margins using the geometry package, I had the same problem again. Happened for both TexStudio and TexMaker. The odd thing is the error stuck even if I started from scratch using your example. — ralph, Aug 04 '21 at 00:15
