I'm borrowing a friend's style file and using Latex to create a resume. His style file defaults to left-aligning the name and right-aligning the address. I want to keep the formatting but center the name and address.
Here's my Latex:
%this assumes that res_yy.sty is in some path
\documentstyle[hyperref, margin, line]{res_yy}
\hypersetup{backref,pdfpagemode=Full,colorlinks=true,backref}
\addtolength{\oddsidemargin}{-0.45in}
\addtolength{\voffset}{-0.30in}
\addtolength{\textwidth}{1.00in} \addtolength{\textheight}{1.50in}
\renewcommand{\namefont}{\LARGE\emph}
%%
%% starting the actual document
%%
\begin{document}
%the name in big fonts at the top of resume
%this is left aligned
\name{Example Name}
%this is right aligned
\address{
email: [email protected]
}
\begin{resume}
\end{resume}
\end{document}
This part is (I think) the relevant part of the style file he provided:
