baby blocks in an invitation
I am trying to design a baby shower invitation using baby blocks. I want to
use the letters in the baby's name in the blocks instead of the given ones. How can I download "blank" baby blocks and fill them in myself? Thank you very much. |

baby blocks in an invitation
In message ,
Sue Proclaimed from the tallest tower: I am trying to design a baby shower invitation using baby blocks. I want to use the letters in the baby's name in the blocks instead of the given ones. How can I download "blank" baby blocks and fill them in myself? Thank you very much. If you have access to any simple drawing program, you might be better off to design the 'baby's name in blocks' part of the invite there, then import the picture and do the rest of the invite in Word. There are some 'Baby Block' fonts around, but you have to pay for them, and IMO, they are not very nice... http://www.staffassoc.com/dpfonts/babyblok.htm Actually, just found this one which appears to be free, but haven't looked too closely... http://www.free-fonts.com/font/baby_blocks.html Have fun! -- Regards, Chris.

If you're willing to pay $25 for a baby blocks font, see
http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/pixymbols/babyblocks/. Lots of images at http://images.google.com/images?hl=e...=Search+Images, but not necessarily any that would be any easier to edit than what you have. -- Suzanne S.

You could download a Baby Block font from
http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/fil...id,2120,00.asp and colour the individual letters as required. Caps produce black on white, lower case produces white on black. By mingling the case and the colours of the letters you can produce an interesting effect that might work for you. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Sue wrote: I am trying to design a baby shower invitation using baby blocks.

The PIXymbols ones are definitely the nicest.

Use this search
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/cl...locks&sc=20#96 These are blocks with the letters already filled in, but you can ungroup and remove the letter and add your own. -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "Sue" wrote in message ...
