Hi, does anyone know how to layer texts over other texts so that you can see
both of them? I have just brought a new font which has long extensions on
letters like the 'y's; this makes the spaces between the lines extra wide and
I would like to close the gap by overwritting. I have tried just reducing
the linespacing but this deleats part of the letters.
Many thanks
 
You cannot do this in Word - it is a word processing program & what you are
looking to do is more along the lines of graphic design. As you found,
reducing line spacing doesn't allow one line to overprint another, nor does
the Font Formatting of raised or lowered.

You can play around with such things as overlapping text boxes & WordArt,
but that still isn't going to help for 'bodies' of text.

Have you tried actually printing the text? Often the complete letters will
print even though they are not displayed in Word.

Many thanks to both Suzanne and CyberTaz. Problem solved by actually printing
my doc. Doh! If you happen to know how to view what I can now print that
would be helpful; if I can't its not a major problem. Cheers for your help.
 
No, I don't think there's any way to get Word to be more honest about this,
leaving you with trial and error, but experience led me (as it will now lead
you) to suspect that you may get what you want.
