Text formatting question
Hi there...
I have an odd query. I need to recreate the way some text is shown and I'm not sure if Word can do it or not. I know this is something that can be easily done in an image editing peice of software, but I've got over 100 usernames I'd like to do this to. I'm using the TrueType font "Ravia" and want to surround each username with a thick outline. For an exact example of what I mean, go to www.mrsmithmusic.com and look at the title of the page "Mr Smith" with its blue text and white background. Is there a way I can do this in word? The band is having a gig soon, and I want to provide all members of the site with a badge so they can say "hi" and spot each other in real life, as most only know one another by thier usernames. In addition, I'm happy to print these with a blue font and light blue background, as I'm printing on white label paper, but would prefer to be as close to the original as possible without wasting my toner, so is there also a way of putting a futher thin outline on the white? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Ben |

Check out Word Art. It may get you something you'll like. However, you'll
have to do each one individually. Once you have one done, save it as an AutoText entry. Then modify it to another name, save it as an AutoText entry, etc. That way you'll only have to do the formatting once and can save all the names. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
