Title: Word patterns
Post by: NJ Phil on December 23, 2010, 10:10:57 pm

New here and new to scrolling. I'm looking for a program
that will help me put together words in different patterns.
It has to work on a Mac.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
 Phil

several word processing programs have "word art" features. There is often a option to select the letter spacing for the text. If you reduce the space, you will get the "stuck together" appearance that many word patterns have.

Hey Phil. welcome to the forum! Steve Good has a basic program for name patterns on his blog. Most people design word art on WORD and Corel Draw. Steve also has videos on how to design on Corel Draw. Just go on the blog and search.

I use MS Word. Steves also works real good.

I am not sure what programs work on a Mac.  8)
