Microdoft word again

[smilingcrow]

I am trying to make a for sale sign to put in my car window but does anyone know how to make really big text at all please? The largest I can seem to get is 72.

[murraymints]

will you be able print out any larger than that ??

[bibblebub]

just click in the font size box rather than the down arrow and type in a number

[smilingcrow]

bibble wor thanks so simple.

[Old_Geezer]

Have you tried coloured crayons and paper ? Sometimes the low tech option is preferable.

[bibblebub]

you're welcome

[smilingcrow]

old geezer really?

Not crayons - a big thick felt pen.

And a piece of wallpaper.

And your best bubble writing.

[rhythmcrazy]

Yes I agree with Mosaic - you'll use an awful lot of printer ink if you print such large writing! Rather write it with a thick black felt pen.

bibblebub - can you explain to an old codger how to exceed 72pt. Thank you

^^ As BB said, "just click in the font size box rather than the down arrow and type in a number".

.... up to 1638

(although if you want to go above 1638, which is about 55cm letters words not the right thing to be using)

Thanks mark. However, when I type a number in the font size box, as soon as I move my cursor back to the document, the font size changes back to its original.

ie I have typed For Sale into a document. Then changed the 9pt to 48pt. Returned the cursor to the document and the size changes back to 9pt. I can only change the font size by using the downward arrow.

[ChuckFickens]

Press enter after typing the number.

[MarkRae]

As Chuck says, hit Enter... :-)

Thanks a lot Chuck and mark . . . . magic!
