how do you print off 1 character on a4 sheet, taking up the whole sheet, using word or something else?

Question

ie i want to print a word but use an a4 sheet for each letter, i can only seem to get as big as 72?

Answer 1

You can select the letter, and press:
Ctrl+>

(This deppend on your keyboard distribution):

Cntrl + Shift + <

Each time you press this key combination, the letter will grow up.

Answer 2

Using Microsoft Word, rather than use the "drop down list" to increase the size of your single character, click in the box that you see the "72" then simply type the size you want (ie 100) then hit "Enter" If you find the size is too small or too big, simply do the same again and input a different value.

Answer 3

what version of word are you using?
because you can normally just type in the size you want this replaces the clicking on the size window and scrolling down the list.
alternatively try ctrl+shift then just repeatedly press the > key for larger and the < if you go a little too far.
Don't forget to adjust your margins to that of the minimum your printer supports.

as others have said you can try the same tricks within windows paint or any other graphics program.

but the key sequence above should be fine for your needs.
you can just type 780 in to the size window (for times new roman at normal (not italicised or bold etc.) print. (i just attempted this for you in word 2003, it works. (capital A as test character)

Answer 4

You can type the size you want in the font size box - try 500 - than insert a page break after each letter to get 1 letter per page.

Answer 5

modify the font size to fill the page, 600 seemed to work for me.
(just click on the font size box and type in the size you want default is normally 10 or 12)

Answer 6

instead of useing the drop down font , type in your own it goes up to at least 500 ive tried but it might depend on the version of word u have

Answer 7

Use Insert menu - Picture - Word Art and you will be able to expand the letter

Answer 8

OH WHY!!!! Y did you use the good sheets?! *sigh* well all i can say is to try the Tide pen and if that doesnt work get another set and burn the old ones.

Answer 9

When using word, where the drop down for the size is, you can type in your own number (e.g 700), which should do what you want.

Answer 10

You would have to use a picture editing program such as paint shop pro or photo shop and save it as a .bmp file then you could re-size it to fit the page
