  1. Select a custom font from the droplist.

  2. Enter the names of the letters you want to use in the text box.

  • If the letter name is a single character – e.g. ‘A’ – enter that character.
  • If the letter name consists of more than one character – e.g. ‘Star’ – enter a tilde (~) followed by the letter name.

TIP

Combine letters that use single or multiple characters in their name by prefacing the single character with two tildes – e.g. ~Star~~A~Star.

  1. Set the formatting values as you would for other lettering objects.
