Making word blocks

[agooday88]

Hi,
 I saw a pattern on this site that is called. Inspirational Word Blocks. I love this idea. I noticed that the pattern only came with a few choice words to make. I was wondering if anyone knows how to make these same letters so that I can make my own words.
 I would like to make some for my grand kids (with their name ) for Christmas.
 I thought I could find that Font on Word Pad, but it wasnt there.
 Thanks all

At the bottom of Steve G web page try the Stencil printer 1.7  .... has the font you want and capabilities to smoosh the letters together as close as you choose. Have fun.

Hi, agooday88,
I tried the search engine on this forum and could not find the word blocks you referenced.
Could you send a link, please, so that I can view the idea you were talking about?
God Bless! Spirithorse

http://scrollsawworkshop.blogspot.com/2010/02/inspirational-word-blocks.html.. This is the page that I found it on. I just downloaded  the Stencil pattern maker from S.G and I will mess around with it and see if I can do it there. But if you have any other ideas, I am all ears. thanks

You can also reduce the spacing between letters in Microsoft Word.
The technical name for this is KERNING.
Here is one tutorial

but, you can probably find better tutorials with video on www.youtube.com
with a search of KERNING IN WORD or something similar.
