Letters not lining up correctly


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

  1. Select The Text Frame Tool
  2. Pull out a Text Frame of 10x10mm or whatever size you want
  3. Type the letter A and Centre Align and Centre Vertically
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.

Found a simpler way to do this, I used this website to generate the letter grid: http://tools.atozteacherstuff.com/word-search-maker/wordsearch.php

Can't you just use monospaced fonts?

If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time.
