Re: Monogram Help
I found some info for you:
Resource: www.diybride.com
Creating a custom monogram is simple using Microsoft Word. All you have to do is create a text box for each initial in your monogram and arrange the boxes so they're spaced to your satisfaction. Easy!
1. Open Microsoft Word 2. From the DRAWING toolbar, click the 'text box' button. 3. Type your initial in the text box you just created. 4. Do this for each initial of your monogram. (For example, if you''re monogram is SMT, you'll need three boxes.) 5. Format your text boxes to feature NO FILL and NO LINE. 6. Now click on each text box and drag it to the placement and spacing that suits you.
Hints & Tips
* For PC users, if you use the arrow keys while holding down the Ctrl key, this will give you more precision in moving the boxes than if using only the mouse. * Use different fonts and color combinations to create a beautiful and unique monogram.
In addition to Word, some knotties have also had success with making monograms with Microsoft Powerpoint. For those a little more software savvy, Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator are great for designing monograms! It gives me more freedom in design than Word or Powerpoint. However, these software CAN get pricy if you only intend of using them for monograms. The Adobe software costs a couple hundred dollars.
You can also order a personalized embosser to use on your table napkins, stationery, etc.
AND- there are a few girls on the knot that will make them for you for free..or a small fee. Check out this site-- scroll to the bottom where it says 'Knotties for Hire'
