How to type details in printed certificate
File - page setup - layout - vertical alignment - justified will space the
text evenly. Alternatively space it more accurately by using space before/after in the paragraph format. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Puzzled wrote: I have a printed certificate which needs to be completed.

How to type details in printed certificate
With a ruler. Measure the distance from the top of the page to the first
fill-in line/space. Say this is 4". If you're using the default 1" top margin, then your text needs to be 3" from the top margin. In the Format | Paragraph dialog, type 3" into the Space Before box (Word will convert this to points). Your status bar should show the position as 4", and the vertical ruler will show it at 3", but you'll probably find that it is really too low because your text baseline will be below the 3" mark by the amount of the line spacing. For 12-pt Times New Roman, this will be 14.4 pts (120% of the nominal point size). Whatever the amount is (you're probably using larger type for a certificate), you'll need to subtract this from the 216 points Space Before. This is pretty much a trial-and-error process; keep printing on plain paper and comparing to the certificate till you get the position right. Repeat for any additional lines. -- Suzanne S.

How to type details in printed certificate
Trial and error really but it may help if you can scan it in and place it as
a watermark behind your (blank) document - and remove it when you're done. -- Enjoy, Tony "Puzzled" wrote in message ... I have a printed certificate which needs to be completed. How does one work out the vertical spacing. |
