Aaaaaahhhh!!! I needed that because a fargin D and G is making me nutso! May I have your email so you can let me know what the heck I am doing wrong?
I did this by print screen, paste into new photo suite doc, cropped as close a circle as I could, save as jpeg. But who knows if I try to print it on colored cardstock will I get a white border?! Bah Fangul!

I sent it to you by FM. What is that font youare using. I may just re-create it for you in Photoshop, much easier.
and send me the jpeg cause I can probably put it on a 'clear' backgroud for you. I think if you print it on colored paper you will get white at the edges.

Re: DIY Monogram Instructions
To design your monogram in Microsoft Word: Choose Insert -> Textbox. Type and format the letter the way you like it. Do this three times. Now click on all textboxes and choose Format->Textbox. Choose Color: No Fill (so you can overlap letters) and Line: No Line. Select all letters, right click, and choose Group to lock in the arrangement. You can now copy your image into Microsoft Paint and save in several formats, such as JPEG.
Okay... I got to the point where I now have to select the letters and right click and choose Group to lock in the arrangement, and it won't let me. I held the control button down and clicked each letter to highlight them, but when I right click, the Group option isn't there. HELP! I'm ready to pull my hair out!
Thank you!

Ok, I remember this....grouping may not be highlighted ....so after Group...it says ORDER and then you use 'bring to Front'. That should let you overlap your letters. Try that!

Re: DIY Monogram Instructions
The only time the option 'Grouping' or 'Order' is available is when I don't highlight the letters. And, even then, when the submenu pops up, none of those options are highlighted, so I can't do anything anyway.

Dont highlight the letter but go to the edge of the text box and right click. try that. That should bring up order.
Sorry u are having a hard time.
