Font For Making Display Lettering

[Deb]

Hi

 

Wondered if anybody can remember a post many moons ago from someone on here showing how to make display lettering using the computer and simply changing the font to 'outline' or something like that, so the letters could easily be cut around?

 

Thanks

I think I may have posted something similar some time ago ... when in word document, go into format - font - then on there is an option to make font as an outline ... usually find that you need to have it in bold so it looks big enough to on display

Thanks very much Sarah, that's what I needed.

You can also use a Word Art style for lettering.

 

On the Word toolbar - Insert/Picture/Word Art

You can also make lettering bigger than 72 font size. Highlight the lettering you want to enlarge delete the numbers in the size of font box and type in 150 /200 or any other size to fit your requirements the press enter. I sometimes make each letter fit an A4 size paper.

Thanks everyone for the great ideas, it's so useful getting practical tips like these.

 

Out of interest Mimi, what size font do you use for A4?
