Can someone do me a favor?
This computer illiterate would like to make a new rear car window sign. Problem-- I cannot go larger than 72 for the font size for my intended project. Any other way to do this? In the middle of my sign should be a large (3 or 4 inches) capital I with a small 2 to the top right. as in E=MC(squared). How do I get my "2" to be properly aligned? I then would print in smaller letters,
Impeach
Indict
underneath. Tastefully done and balanced. Would go for 3 as in cubed for Imprison but it gets too wordy. Might be considered unseemly by some.

1. are you using word processing software...?
Select the "2", then click on Format, Font (or Character or whatever), Superscript.

If you want larger type simply fill in a number other than 72. BTW, 72 pts = 1 inch, so if you want 2 inch type change that to 144, etc.

2. Try using PowerPoint for it.
Make the various components in Text boxes and you can move them wherever you want. You can also use Word Art for fancy letters, 3-d, etc.

3. Create the artwork at 1/4 size, then print it at 400% . . .
Don't know what program/printer you're using, but this may give you a means to do what you want.

4. I will try to help
First type what you want. If you don't do that the font box will go back to default.

Highlight your text ( drag your mouse over the text so that the letters are white and the background is black)

Go up to where you set the font size. highlight that number ( it is 10 on mine) type in a number.
Experiment with 90.

5. The "2"
should be done in superscript. Usually found in format - font menu.

6. Thanks, I got it, printed it out in word, used "Insert" symbol,
There was a "squared" symbol within the options. My better half doesn't like it, but I'm tired of my old "impeach" sign (bordered in orange) This one is rather unorthodox, may cause someone to ask me what I mean. Give me a chance to vent. Thanks for your help.
