Hello. How to make text transparent in Microsoft Word?

Master's response:

Hello.

In the process of typing, creating website pages or program interfaces, it may be necessary to make some or all of the text transparent. The transparency of the text is very conditional on a computer and in various programs it is implemented according to the same principle. The method of creating transparent text can be considered using the Microsoft Word text editor as an example.

Start creating transparent text should be the background color where the text will be typed. Next, you need to find out the code for this color. To do this, select "Format" in the main menu of the editor, in the submenu that appears, place the cursor on the "Background" line, and then select the "Other colors" item. A window will appear where below the spectrum of colors the code of the selected color will be signed. It must be memorized or written down.

Next, you need to open the "Format" item in the main menu of the editor, and then "Font". In the font properties window that opens, select the "Font" tab. Next, you need to click on the color selection bar (under the "Text Color" line), then you need to select the "Other colors" item. In the color selection window that opens, you must enter the previously recorded background color code. Thus, the text color will merge with the background color, visually the text will appear transparent (invisible).

To read transparent text, you can simply select it with the mouse.

The question of how to make a stencil in Microsoft Word is of interest to many users. The problem is that finding a sane answer to it on the Internet is not so easy. If you are also interested in this topic, you have come to the right place, but first, let's figure out what a stencil is.

A stencil is a "perforated plate", at least that is the meaning of this word in an exact translation from Italian. We will briefly talk about how to make such a “plate” in the second half of this article, and directly below we will share with you how to create the basis for a traditional stencil in Word.

If you are ready to seriously get confused by connecting your imagination in parallel, you can use any font provided in the standard set of the program to create a stencil. The main thing, when it is printed on paper, is to make jumpers - places that will not be cut out in letters bounded by an outline.

Actually, if you are ready to sweat over the stencil so much, it is not clear why you need our instructions, since you have all the MS Word fonts at your disposal. Choose the one you like, write a word or type the alphabet and print on the printer, and then cut them out along the contour, not forgetting the jumpers.

If you are not ready to spend so much effort, time and energy and a classic-looking stencil suits you, our task is to find, download and install that same classic stencil font. We are ready to save you from an exhausting search - we found everything on our own.

The Trafaret Kit Transparent font completely imitates the good old Soviet TSh-1 stencils with one nice bonus - in addition to the Russian language, it also has English, as well as a number of other characters that are not in the original. You can download it from the author's website.

Installing the font

In order for the font you downloaded to appear in Word, you must first install it on the system. Actually, after that it will automatically appear in the program. You can learn how to do this from our article.

Creating the base for the stencil

Select Trafaret Kit Transparent from the list of fonts available in Word and create the desired inscription in it. If you need an alphabetic stencil, write the alphabet on the document page. Other characters can be added as needed.

The standard portrait orientation of a sheet in Word is not the best solution for creating a stencil. On the landscape page, it will look more familiar. Our instruction will help you change the position of the page.

Now the text needs to be formatted. Set the right size, choose the right position on the page, set sufficient indents and spacing, both between letters and between words. Our guide will help you do it all.

Perhaps the standard A4 sheet size will not be enough for you. If you want to change it to a larger one (A3, for example), our article will help you do this.

Note: When changing the sheet format, do not forget to change the font size and related parameters proportionally. Equally important in this case are the capabilities of the printer on which the stencil will be printed - support for the selected paper size is required.

Screen printing

Having written the alphabet or inscription, having formatted this text, you can safely proceed to printing the document. If you still don't know how to do this, be sure to check out our instructions.

Create a stencil

As you understand, there is practically no sense from a stencil printed on a regular piece of paper. More than once they are unlikely to be used. That is why the printed page with the stencil base needs to be “strengthened”. For this you will need the following:

  • Cardboard or plastic film;
  • Carbon paper;
  • Scissors;
  • Shoe or clerical knife;
  • Pen or pencil;
  • Board;
  • Laminator (optional).

The printed text must be transferred to cardboard or plastic. In the case of transferring to cardboard, ordinary carbon paper (carbon paper) will help to do this. You just need to lay the stencil page on cardboard, placing a carbon paper between them, and then trace the outline of the letters with a pencil or pen. If there is no carbon paper, you can push through the outlines of the letters with a pen. The same can be done with transparent plastic.

And yet, it is more convenient with transparent plastic, and it would simply be more correct to do it a little differently. Place a sheet of plastic on top of the stencil page and trace the outlines of the letters with a pen.

After the stencil base created in Word is transferred to cardboard or plastic, all that remains is to cut out the empty spaces with scissors or a knife. The main thing is to do it strictly along the line. It is not difficult to drive the knife along the border of the letter, but the scissors must first be “driven” into the place that will be cut out, but not into the edge itself. It is better to cut plastic with a sharp knife, after placing it on a solid board.

If you have a laminator handy, the printed sheet of paper with the stencil base can be laminated. Having done this, cut out the letters along the contour with a clerical knife or scissors.

When creating a stencil in Word, especially if it is an alphabet, try to make the distance between letters (on all sides) no less than their width and height. If this is not critical for the presentation of the text, the distance can be made a little larger.

If to create a stencil you did not use the Trafaret Kit Transparent font offered by us, but any other (non-stencil) font presented in the standard Word set, we recall once again, do not forget about the jumpers in the letters. For letters whose contour is limited by the internal space (an obvious example is the letters “O” and “B”, the number “8”), there must be at least two such jumpers.

That's all, in fact, now you know not only how to make a basis for a stencil in Word, but also how to make a full-fledged, dense stencil with your own hands.

Answer from leak out
If you mean a letter written in a font with dotted lines, then no way. By default, fonts are usually created as follows: regular, bold, italic, bold italic (but there may be others), each letter is written in a special file with a font, so if the font creator did not do “letter outline”, then you can’t do it in any way get.

A professional document should not only be designed according to GOST standards, but also look beautiful. Beautiful text is an added bonus.

In the Word editor, fonts, margins, numbering, styles and much more are responsible for the beauty of the text, but in this article we will talk about effects that will help you turn a regular headline into a design masterpiece.

  • Text effects in Word:
    • preset styles;
    • Structure;
    • Shadow;
    • Reflection;
    • Backlight.
  • An example of how to make beautiful text in Word:
    • Choose a beautiful font for the text;
    • Editing text in a document;
    • We create beautiful text design.

Text effects in Word

The Word editor includes a huge number of text effects, using which you can give an individual style to any document.

Of course, you should not overdo it with effects, they should be used only where it is appropriate and only in the quantity that is needed.

Adding effects is done as follows:

  1. Select the part of the document you are interested in.
  2. Go to the "Home" tab.
  3. In the "Font" block, activate the "Text Effects and Appearance" command.
  4. Select the desired effect from the dropdown list.

Let's list the available text effects in Word.

Preset Styles

The developers offered to choose from, their list of 15 preset styles with built-in effects for text.

  1. Fill - black, text 1 with shadow.
  2. Fill - blue, accent 1 with shadow.
  3. Fill - orange, accent 2, outline - accent 2.
  4. Fill - white, outline - accent 1 with shadow.
  5. Shading - golden, accent 4, soft baguette frame.
  6. Gradient fill - grey.
  7. Gradient fill - blue, accent 1, reflection.
  8. Gradient fill - gold, accent 4, outline - accent 4.
  9. The fill is white, the outline is accent 1, the highlight is accent 1.
  10. Fill - gray 50%, accent 3, rough baguette frame.
  11. Fill - black, text 1, outline - background 1, heavy shadow - background 1.
  12. Fill - dark blue, text 1, outline - background 1, heavy shadow - background 1.
  13. Fill - blue, accent 1, outline - background 1, heavy shadow - accent 1.
  14. Fill - white, outline - accent 2, heavy shadow - accent 2.
  15. Fill - gray 25%, background 2, shadow inside.

Structure

Using commands from the "Structure" category, you can set the text color, change the font thickness and assign the line type.

Very often there are cases when you need to add volume to the text. Shadows, the most effective way to solve this problem.

In the range of the Word editor, there are:

  • outdoor shadows;
  • Inner shadows;
  • perspective shadows.

To create your own version of the shadow, use the "Shadow Options" command.

If you want to remove the shadow from the text, select the "No shadow" option.

Reflection

The text with reflection looks very nice and stylish. There are 9 options to choose from with different offsets and reflection thicknesses.

You can set your own text reflection style in the Reflection Options command.

The "No reflection" command removes the effect from the text.

Backlight

Highlighting gives the text a glow. There are 24 effect options in the set, or rather 6 options with different color effects and 4 for each with increased illumination.

Sample how to make beautiful text in Word

Now that we are familiar with the effects options in the Word editor, it's time to show imagination and make beautiful text in the document, on our own.

For example, let's take any text in which we will design beautiful headings.

Choosing a beautiful font for text

There are a lot of beautiful fonts. There are fonts for business documents, there are fonts for children's topics, and so on.

You can choose the font to suit your needs on the website

It is necessary to understand what font will be initially chosen, and such an attitude to the document will be. And no matter how it is designed, 80% of success should be given to fonts.

In my case, I'll choose the font "Roboto", I really like this design, modern, not too wide and easy to read.

Editing text in a document

At the next stage, it is necessary to arrange all the indents, margins and separate one part of the text from the other so that nothing merges.

Create beautiful text design

At the beginning of the article it was mentioned that an overabundance of effects will not improve, but worsen the perception. After experimenting a little, I came to the conclusion that the best design option would be like this:

Just the heading was nicely done. Assigned 13 preset styles, added a reflection and enlarged the font.

The subheading is highlighted in a different color so that it differs from the main one.

This is where it should end, since the main elements are quite readable. They are clearly visible, but at the same time they do not interfere with reading the article.

Experiment with beautiful text in Word and send your design options in the comments.
