MS Office Forum / Word / Printing and Fonts / November 2003How do I overlap lines?
Word 2002: how can I overlap 2 lines of text so they print partly on top of each other? Thanx. You could put one in a text box with No Fill and wrapping set to In Front of Text. -- Suzanne S.

Thanx. Thanx Su, I'll try that one and see how that works. You know within a line I can do anything, overlap, whatever I like. But once it's 2 lines Word refuses. With headings and creative text inclusions I often mix large type with small type, but I cant find any provision to override the linespace setting determined by the largest type. And it then looks horrible. Bill Gates is quite anti creative here. You are doing a lot of help here Sue.

Thanx. Suzanne's method can also be used for setting a drop shadow on type. You could also decrease the spacing between the lines - e.g., 24 pt type with 12 pt line spacing. Peter Thanks Peter, Thats what I was trying to do, reduce spacing below the size of the largest font. But it would cut off half the fonts for some reason.

With headings and creative text inclusions I often mix large type with small type, but I cant find any provision to override the linespace setting determined by the largest type. Or do I do something wrong? And it then looks horrible.

I'm on a Mac, so things may be slightly different for you. Select the line(s) you want. Format/Paragraph/Line spacing - change to Exactly, and enter the amount you want. Peter Thanks Peter! >-----Original Message----- > [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] >Peter >. |
