Calligraphy is difficult, but anyone can trace!

There are many stylish fonts in the world♡

Even if it's difficult to write stylish characters freehand, it's easy to simply "trace an example made on a computer using a font." Anyone can write stylish text.

In DIY wedding cases, it's surprisingly easy to place a sample underneath and write characters on transparent acrylic or tracing paper. You can write stylish characters without mistakes and with ease＊

But...!

Creating a sample template can be a daunting task for brides who are not good with computers.

If you print it at an inappropriate size, the characters might end up being too large or too small.

Therefore, in this article, I will explain how to create a 【template for tracing characters in Word】＊

《How to Create a Template for Tracing Characters》

① First, open Word and check the "Ruler" in the "View" tab.

② Click on "File" in the top left, then click on "Options."

③ In the "Advanced" section under "Display," set "Units to use" to centimeters. If the box for "Use character width for units" is checked, uncheck it.

④ Now, the ruler's unit has been set to "cm," making it easier to see＊

⑤ Choose the shape you want to create from "Insert."

⑥ This time, I would like to create a template for characters made from capiz shells with a diameter of 6 cm＊

Since capiz shells are round, select "Circle."

⑦ Set the desired size from the upper right to "Height: 6cm, Width: 6cm."

From the "Format" of the "Drawing Tools," set "Shape Fill" to none and "Layout Options" to in line with text.

This completes one circle＊

⑧ Copy the circle and paste it the desired number of times.

⑨ From the "Format" of the "Drawing Tools," select "Align Text" and choose "Align Middle," then enter the guest’s name.
