Default Creating a Monogram

Am using Publisher 2007 and am trying to create a monogram where the middle
letter of the person's initials is larger than the rest. The middle letter
represents the person's last name and sits larger than the two letters on
either side of it. I have tried using Superscript but you can't manipulate
it enough. I need the two sides letters to be vertically centered with the
middle initial. Would love any advice that helps. Thanks,

Use WordArt. You can copy the WordArt, Paste special as a .wmf. Ungroup, you may
have to ungroup a couple of times. Once the letters are separated you can
manipulate them. Experiment with different fonts. It may take a little practice.

Use three text boxes, one for each letter. Position them as needed.

I would use a graphics package, or even PowerPoint, to create the monogram, then import the graphic to the labels. The following articles cover the problems that can occur with importing graphics in labels.

Good luck!
