I sent it to you by FM. What is that font youare using. I may just re-create it for you in Photoshop, much easier.
and send me the jpeg cause I can probably put it on a 'clear' backgroud for you. I think if you print it on colored paper you will get white at the edges.

Re: DIY Monogram Instructions
To design your monogram in Microsoft Word: Choose Insert -> Textbox. Type and format the letter the way you like it. Do this three times. Now click on all textboxes and choose Format->Textbox. Choose Color: No Fill (so you can overlap letters) and Line: No Line. Select all letters, right click, and choose Group to lock in the arrangement. You can now copy your image into Microsoft Paint and save in several formats, such as JPEG.Okay... I got to the point where
I now have to select the letters and right click and choose Group to lock in the arrangement, and it won't let me.
I held the control button down and clicked each letter to highlight them, but when I right click, the Group option isn't there. HELP! I'm ready to pull my hair out!
Thank you!

Ok, I remember this....grouping may not be highlighted ....so after Group...it says ORDER and then you use 'bring to Front'. That should let you overlap your letters.
Try that!

Re: DIY Monogram Instructions
The only time the option 'Grouping' or 'Order' is available is when I don't highlight the letters. And, even then, when the submenu pops up, none of those options are highlighted, so I can't do anything anyway.

Dont highlight the letter but go to the edge of the text box and right click. try that.
That should bring up order.
Sorry u are having a hard time.
