Applied border to some text...

First few words start with font size 36. I then want to have a size 12
font on the same line to the top edge of the border...however because
of the size difference in fonts it takes me to the bottom of the size
36 font on the same line.

How can I do what I want?

Thanks.

> Suzanne,

It works for the first sentence of the text on the right-hand side.
When I try to apply it to the second line it doesn't work in the same
way. Instead of raising the text on the second line, it keeps it's
position and text below moves downwards.

Also noticed it's not possible to raise a block of text all at once.
If I manually move the second line up it erases the top line at the
same time.

Is there also a way to align the two blocks of text centerally?

Thanks.

What exactly is it you're trying to do again? It sounds as if you need a
different solution.

> Suzanne,

Here we go.......

I want to produce text surrounded with a border. Like this:

Pays $90 Per Sale!                           Mail Your $217 Check or
M.O To:
                                                       Jason Clark
                                                       62 Edwin Ave

    Order On-Line Or                               +44 (0) 1394 389088
    Mail in a Check                            

Pays $90 Per Sale!=(size 36 font)
Mail Your $217 Check or M.O To:=(size 12 font)

Where I am having problems is getting "Jason Clark" positioned at the
bottom of "Pays &90 Per Sale" And aligning both sides of text
centerally.  think it's because of the different font sizes on each
line.

I can get "Mail Your $217 Check or M.O To:" so it's aligned to the top
of the border now.

Hope this makes it clearer as to what I am trying to acheive.

Jason Clark

This strikes me as the kind of layout that cries out for a table. You can
add borders as needed, and you can align text within cells as Top, Center,
or Bottom and adjust it by adding Space Before/After as needed (or, in Word
2000/2002, you can adjust the internal margins of individual cells).

Suzanne,
I have put the text as required into the table. How do I delete the
table and keep text (in same position) without it disappearing with
the table?

Do I apply the border before deleting the table?

Regards,
Jason

Why do you want to delete the table? You can Convert Table to Text, but this
will defeat the purpose of the table.

> Suzanne,

I was a bit quick to post. I thought by having a table it would show
up when I printed.
