I'm looking for a software package that will allow me to blend letters together ie get them to touch each other. But I didn't want to expand funds on a big drawing package at this moment in time. MS word doesn't seem to do the trick, well not that I have found. Any ideas?
thanks

You can do this in word and it isn't too difficult.
Do it as follows.
1. Create a small text box on a blank page.
2. In the text box, type the first letter in your word.
3. Resize the letter to 'big', eg 72 point.
4. Resize the text box to be just as big as the letter.
5. Change the properties of the text box so that there is no fill and no outline.
6. Select the text box and copy it.
7. Paste as many times as there are letters.
8. Go into each box and change each letter so that you have each letter from your word represented.
9. Pick up each letter in turn and arrange them how you want. (Note that you must click and drag the edge of the text box, not the letter.
It sounds like a bit of a faf but it isn't really and it does generate the effect you are after quite quickly and simply.
One thing though is to try and get your positioning right from the start as it can be fiddly picking up letters again if they are close together.
