Can I control character overlap?
I want to create a title with the characters (letters) in different
colors and overlapping. I am able to get the overlap using the character spacing, but each letter overlaps the previous one. I would like to have the first overlap the second and so on. Is there a way to do that? |

Select a character, then use Format, Font and reduce the character spacing.

If my text string is ABCDE, I want the B to be behind the A, the C behind the B, and so on. The result that I am getting is that the B is on top of the A, the C is on top of the B, and so on. |

Ideally, this would be done in a graphics app. To achieve it in Word, you're
going to have to use individual WordArt objects (or, at the very least, multiple overlapping text boxes). -- Suzanne S.

Klaus has given you a solution for Word, but Suzanne is correct in that
perhaps you need something a little more elaborate than Word can so and a graphics app would be better. You can save it as a jpeg and insert it into Word.

Another way would be to use ADVANCE fields.
....say, { advance \x2 }b{ advance \x0 }a Klaus |
