Create monograms in WordPerfect
Create monograms in WordPerfect
|
A nice feature in WordPerfect Versions 6.1 and later lets you overlap one character with another. While it's not practical for your everyday tasks, you can use this feature to create unusual monograms or company logos. Here's how:
1. Position the cursor where you want the monogram. 2. Select FormatûTypesettingûOverstrike. 3. In the Overstrike dialogue box, type the characters you want to use. Normally, more than two characters do not show up well, but you can experiment. (To include a symbolic character, press <Ctrl>-W while in this dialogue box; this opens the Symbols dialogue box.) Click OK. Once the monogram appears in your document, WordPerfect treats it as a single character. Select it, and then select FormatûFont to choose a font and size for the character. You can also use boldfacing, italics, shadows, or font colours for other effects.

Print a test page and make adjustments as necessary. û George Campbell | Category:word processing Issue: November 1998 |
