Answer: Does anyone know how to blur a font to make it barely legible?
Yes, you can definitely blur a font in Microsoft Word to make it barely legible. Here's how you can do it:
Your text should now be blurred and barely legible. Keep in mind that this effect is not reversible, so make sure you're happy with the level of blur before applying it.

Or visit any of the hundreds of "free fonts" websites you can find
through Google, and pick a font that's already barely legible -- there are tons of them. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

I found the blur font on Google but they are still too legible. I want it to
be really hard for someone to read. So, if I have to create it myself, what program would be capable of blurring selected text but not everything?

If you aren't using a font that looks blurred, then the procedure is
to remove the text from the document and replace it with a blurred picture of the text. That is, you can't just select some text in Word and somehow blur it. For that, JoAnn is correct -- use a graphics editor. You might be able to use something as simple as Microsoft Paint -- take a screen shot of the text, paste multiple copies into Paint and slightly offset each one, and save the result as a .jpg or .gif file that you can import into Word. For better tools, but still free for download, you can try these: IrfanView (www.irfanview.com) Paint.Net (http://www.eecs.wsu.edu/paint.net) the Drawing program in OpenOffice (www.openoffice.org) Among commercial programs, you could look for CorelDraw, Paint Shop Pro, or Adobe PhotoShop Elements. These are all available for sale in stores and online. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

I'm right about taking off my glasses too but that blurs everything - the
text, pictures, monitor, office, cat on my lap.............. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Jay Freedman" wrote in message ...
