If you just enlarge the regular letters on Microsoft Word, then it will fill in the letters making them all black and wasting ink. MAKE SURE YOU ONLY PRINT THE OUTLINE. To do this on Microsoft Word, first open a new page. Once you have your page open look to the bottom of the page and find the crooked blue letter A icon. When you hover over the icon it should say "Insert WordArt". Click on the icon and a selection of different WordArts should come up. Click on the first WordArt that is only an outline of the word "WordArt". Press the OK button and type the letter you would like to print. You can adjust the font at the top of the page. Press OK and the adjust the letter you the size you want. Print a practice letter on regular printer paper before using your good paper. I used Cambria as my font for Elizabeth and Rockwell Extra Bold as my font for Sarah. My letter size was 2 1/2 inches by 3 1/2 for a 5 by 7 frame and 6 inches by 5 inches for an 8 by 10 frame. Also, for the larger frames I used bold letters.
