When doing word art, how do you move the letters around so they join together, both up and down as well as side to side? Thanks for your input!

Bill, I use corel draw 13 to do my word art. On mine I high lite the word and a box shows up on the right that says kerning. Now I'm taking for granite that all programs call it kerning. check yours to see if you have a kerning tool--not much help I guess--Richard aka thumbs

I use photoshop.... very easy to move letters in every direction , even turn them, distort them....
but if all you have is say Word..... just print them out, cut them and glue them onto the wood closer together

Lesson in Typography...
Spacing between letters, symbols, etc. on a HORIZONTAL line is called "Kerning".
Spacing between Letters or lines of type in the VERTICAL is called "Leading."
