On the Character Spacing tab of the Format | Font dialog is a Scale setting.
You need to think laterally to make this work, however, since it doesn't
make letters taller or shorter, only wider or narrower. So you will need to
increase the font size, then decrease the scale to less than 100% (making
the letters narrower).

Hi everyone

I have Word 2003 and have a line of text which I need to print. The
overall
length of the line is fine but I need to make the letters a little taller
(by between 30 and 50%). Is this possible? I thought about putting the
text into a text box and stretching it, but it doesn't stretch the
letters.
I suspect that I could do it with Word Art but I don't want to use the
fonts
there. The font that I must use is AladdinExpanded.

Any ideas how I can do this?

Thanks for your time.
