Maybe this is just my anti-Microsoft bias showing through, but personally, I'd recommend against setting up your resume using Word's wizard. Wizard resumes tend to look like wizard resumes no matter how you polish them, and if you're applying for prepress jobs, you probably have more advanced skills in better layout programs than Word, so why not show them off from the get go? No need to create an overblown 'artistic' monstrosity that uses every transparency effect in InDesign, but an elegant, simple PDF created with proper print specs will speak a lot in your favour, if your resume happens to get passed by anyone with prepress knowledge. Just my 2 cents though.
