I did mine in publisher, which is fairly similar to word when you're talking about something like this. Our monogram consists of 6 text boxes that we grouped at the end, the same way you did. SO, I started with the purple box and that one is 3"x3". Then I made the white box that you can only see a little bit of. I think that one is something like 2.75"x2.75". Then I made the green box, and I think that one is something like 2.5"x2.5". You should be able to double clock on every text box and make a specific height and width to make it exactly what you want. I made them colored by making the outline and the fill the same color. THEN, the date is its own text box, the "C" is its own text box and our names are another text box. Another hint for you... if you want to move a text box over, tiny little bits at a time, click on the outside of box to "highlight" it and then hold down the ALT key and use your arrow keys to move it right, left, up, down, etc. until it's in the right place. Once everything is exactly where you want it, you can group them by clicking on all the boxes while holding down the CTRL key and then right clicking and grouping them. <br /><br />Regarding your question about the background, if you're turning it in to a JPG file, it will have the white background. If you want to add it to something you're creating yourself, I would leave it in that grouped format in word, highlight the monogram, right click and copy and paste it to whatever you want to put it on (programs, save the dates, whatever). Your other option is to put a filled in text box behind it to put a colored background that matches whatever you're making. <br /><br />I hope this helps!

Use a magic marker to make the background black or just print it, cut it out and use Elmer's Glue to paste it onto whatever you want. Helpful advise from mother? Lol! I likeit better with the lighter green but either way it looks really cool.Momnoreply@blogger.com
