Quick Tip Tuesday - Find that Font!
I’m working on a slide show for our friends who are celebrating their 20th anniversary tomorrow night - here is the end slide. I actually used three different fonts to put the word art together - and it can be a REAL pain to choose fonts. I’m the kind of person who needs to SEE the type in the font before I can choose, so I have a quick, easy way to do that!
1. Type your text in any font you have handy.
2. Change to the move tool (hit V) and click on the type layer you want to choose a font for.
3. Change back to the type tool (hit T) and go up to the tool options bar - click on the name of the font - it will highlight blue.
4. Use your arrow up or down keys to move through the list of fonts. When you change the font in the tool options bar, you will see the font on your layout change too! That way you can see JUST how it will look on your layout, and know what you’re getting!
And just for a little gift - CLICK HERE for the word art!
Happy Scrapping!

Great tip, thank you! And thank you for the wordart too! Just thought I’d mention that in PSE4 you don’t have to use the move tool. It works just like a Word document does - while you’re in the Type Tool, just click twice on a word and it will highlight it… click three times and it will “highlight all”. So for PSE4 all you have to do is double click on the word you want in a different font, then go up and click on the font name so it turns blue, then use the up/down arrows! What a great tip, thank you!

Great tip yourself, Linda! I tend to forget you can do that, and I’m pretty sure it’s good for all versions of PS and PSE. There are some other great tips for working with type in PS and PSE, so keep watching the blog or visit us at http://www.scrappersworkshop.com and watch for our classes!
