Adjusting Space Between Lines

I would like to know how to get the space between 2 lines of text down
to zero. I actually want the first line to rest on the second line. Why
am I doing this you may ask? It is because I want to scroll saw
someones name as a single piece of wood. For instance. I set the font
size to 150 and then pick a font set uppercase on and set bold on. I
then type JOHN on line 1 and SMITH on line 2. I select the whole name
and center it. Next using character spacing I kern the letters so there
is no space between them. Actually some overlap is not a problem. I can
now print this, temporarily glue it to a piece of wood and then cut it
out. This gives me a piece for each part of the name.
If I can now reduce the space between the 2 lines I can then cut it out
as a single piece. How do I reduce the space between the 2 lines of
text? I have tried Paragraph spacing but have not had any success.
Thanks for any and all help.

You might try using another program like a graphics or photo editor or DTP.
You will then be able to move a word around to fit exactly against another
word.

trpuble is I do not have a clue as to how to use it.

Take heart: it can be done in Paint!

More to the point, if you try to overlap lines in Word, it will create a
narrow white stripe where you don't expect one.  Overlapping text is
just obliterated.

In Paint, type the two pieces of text, then select one (using the
rectangle marquee, for instance), cut it, and reposition it into place.
