Keychain Tip

[don in brooklin on]

I make a lot of key chains and I normally use Steve Goods program.

On the Daddy do list is 57 key chains that my daughter wants to give to the staff and teachers in her school.  

She provided me a list in word and so instead of keying them individually in to Steve Goods program,

I added a period to the first of each name and the / to the end.  Selected all and change font to my chain and font size to 90 and all done. No typos no proofing.

Now with about 6 weeks till she needs them just need to do 10 and week,

I will add one note to this: To get a nice scrollable pattern, try this: In the word processor go to Format > Text > Outline Font Effect, select Outline Font Effect. Most fonts, including mychain, will now be in an outline mode, the color can also be changed to red ( or other ) .

Thanks for the tip.  I use LibreOffice and it works great.
