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. |

Hi there!
Yes, it is possible to make the letters taller in Word 2003. Here's how you can do it:
This method should work with any font, including AladdinExpanded. It's a quick and easy way to adjust the height of your text without having to use Word Art or other special effects. PHP Code:

I'd use a graphics program to do it, not a word processing one.

Thank you. The font that I'd like to use is the one that I have in Word and
I don't have a graphics program but I'll look into it. I may have to accept what I have if it can't be done in Word. "JoAnn Paules [MSFT MVP]" wrote in message ...

Try this:
Get them normal size, take a screenshot (printscreen) and then paste this back in. Crop it so you only see your letters, and then strech them. It's not a neat solution, and depending on the quality of the image, may not be ideal, but without a graphics package, it's probably the best you'll do. Tom. "Tosca" wrote: Thank you.

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). -- Suzanne S.

Suzanne - that's perfect. As you implied, it took a bit of fiddling and
measuring the length of the line against the new one by dragging the right hand tab setting to the left but I've managed it. Yet another little tip for my "black book"! Best wishes. "Suzanne S.

Hi JoAnn
I've never heard of Picture It! but I've managed to do what I need using Suzanne's tip which has allowed me to use the font that I need. The problem about using other software is that the font may not be available. Thank you for the suggestion. "JoAnn Paules [MSFT MVP]" wrote in message ...

I think Word 95 or 97 was the last release that had a limited set of
fonts for WordArt. All the recent releases will use any installed TrueType font.

I can't speak for Tosca's requirements, but if it's necessary to match
the overall appearance of a regular font except for the letter height, WordArt can't do it. For example, try inserting some ordinary text in 24 pt Times New Roman with no other formatting. Now try to match it with the same phrase in WordArt, with the same stroke weight, width, and general appearance but 120% of the height. You'll find that WordArt's "regular" stroke weight is much heavier, equal to or more than that of TNR's bold face, and the sharp corners are all rounded off. It barely looks like the same font. An added annoyance is that WordArt's sizes are wildly out of line. Before any adjustments, the WordArt is about 30% wider and *four times the height* of the regular text it claims as equivalent. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org On Sat, 23 Jul 2005 20:24:52 -0500, "BK" wrote: That's what I thought.

WordArt has used TrueType fonts since Word 6.0, but only TrueType (no
PostScript). Where the real crunch came, though, was in Word 97 (IIRC), when WordArt became part of Word's drawing tools (rather than a separate applet). At that point, as JoAnn says, it became virtually impossible to make WordArt replicate "ordinary" text. -- Suzanne S.

To add to what Jay has said, some people will tell you that copying the font
file to the Fonts folder is not the same thing as using File | Install New Font in the Fonts folder, but in fact the effect is exactly the same. The main difference is that if you use the Install New Font command (a) the fonts, wherever they may be found, will be listed by font name rather than just filename (that is, the Fonts folder peeks inside the file to extract the display name of the font to make it easier for you), and (b) you can "install" the font without necessarily copying it to the Fonts folder (in which case there will be just a shortcut to the font in the Fonts folder).
