  • need a larger font size...advice please!

    I'm trying to make some signs. One letter per A4 page.
    Problem is that Word only offers me up to a 72 font size.
    I need to make each letter at least 1/2 to 2/3 of the page.
    Anyone know what I ( well- my OH!!!!) can download to be able to do this????

    many thanks!

    Nicos go to 'format' then 'character' select the font tab and where it says size type in something like 550. then click OK
    You might have to play around until you find the size you need.

      Same question on another site see here they went up to 950

      Unless you have loads of ink - you might want to try a letter in outline first.
      Remember If you want to test the depth of the water .........don't use both feet !

        When you get the little box that says you can go up to 72, delete the contents of the box and type in whatever number you want - you can go as low as 5.5 I think, not sure how far up you can go but you should get the size you want with a little experimenting. Select view whole page to see what you are going to end up with.

                    Waiting for someone (thought it might be Snadger) to ask who was being Christened if the font wasn't big enough!

                    I use Word Art to get big fonts.
