Definitely use what's on your computer in Word.
Alternatively, or if you don't like the ones you see, ask a few friends to send you their resumes, and just edit/plug in your own info. Then be sure to delete theirs so you don't accidentally send one off by mistake.
And please, please, please, have at least 2 other people proofread these for you, for everything from spelling to inconsistent spacing to punctuation. These should not be your friends, but should be people who are old-school spellers and punctuators, and not people using spell check! You'd be amazed at the errors I come across in my work, and I have several friends in HR who see the most common errors that are really inexcusable. HR directors and recruiters toss out resumes and cover letters of people who didn't take the time to get it right, because it indicates to them that people don't even care enough about their own image, let alone the prospective company's image. Even someone who is a good speller will miss stuff in their own work. My husband is a career writer, and he gives me everything of his to proof before it goes to the client, agent or publisher. You'll benefit from taking the time to do this.
