MDOT Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Good evening guys. I am designing a tshirt for my clothing ine but I am having an issue. I don't know how to get the letters to to line up evenly. I've posted a screen of the design I am working on and I was hoping someone could help me figure out how I can get all of the letters to line up evenly. Any help would be great.

firstdefence Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 You need to make a grid to place each word in, you can use Power Duplicate to make such as a 10 x 10 grid of Text Frames and then type in each letter into each Text Frame. Select The Text Frame Tool Pull out a Text Frame of 10x10mm or whatever size you want Type the letter A and Centre Align and Centre Vertically Now Power Duplicate (Press Alt and drag the Text Frame to the Right or Press cmd+J or Ctrl + J on windows) the Text Frame and let it snap to the previous frames right side. Once you have a row you can select the row and power duplicate the row, by moving a duplicate of the row down to snap to the bottom of the row above. Replace the letter A in the Text Frames with your own combination of letters to get a Grid. You can work out spacing of the Text Frame Boxes to make it look neater, I've attached a file with History so you can scrub back and forth in the History Panel to see what I did.

carl123 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Can't you just use monospaced fonts?

MDOT Posted August 8, 2018 Author Share Posted August 8, 2018 Do you guys know how I can circle each word like a regular word search puzzle? I need to circle a word vertically, horizontally and diagonally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 A rounded rectangle should look fine as long as you have the letter/line spacing right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
