Homemade Yellow Letter Settings With MS WORD

[Sean Gibson]

I'm having a HECK of a time getting the text lined up on the lines. I got them perfect from the left margin and some lines are perfect, but others aren't on the lines using MS WORD. Please help as I want to call yellowletterguy but I'm pretty sure I know the outcome.

Another trick that might help (and how I do it):

1. In MS Word, insert a 1 column table with multiple rows.

2. Set the table grid lines to "no border" so the table isn't visible when printed.

3. Place each sentence of your letter into a separate row, leaving empty rows between your ad copy. This works fine with merge data as well.

4. Get the top line exactly where you want it on the page (trial and error printing) and then using the empty rows between your ad copy, change the font size within the row(s) to move the rows below up or down (larger font pushes everything below down, smaller font moves it up).

5. If the above makes sense, you should be able to have everything lined up perfectly within 10 minutes.

I have found that when I tear out yellow paper from the pad, the alignment is perfect and repeatable. When I ordered some of the loose leaf yellow lined paper, there seems to be more variance in the lines and it doesn't line up as perfectly, but still pretty close.

Hope this helps and good luck!
