That's all for today.

Unless the ad specifically ask for a salary requirement, I would not include it on your coverletter.
MSWord is the best. It even has resume/coverletter templates.
When I was job searching, a book that helped me GREATLY was Knock 'Em Dead by Martin Yate. A new edition comes out every year.
IMO, it is the BEST resource for job seekers. I really do believe that it helped me to get my current position quickly. It gives you resume templates (for any industry) and questions (and answers) tailored to your industry.
