Let's continue. Typically, the font size is set by choosing from a list. In this case, everything is the same. Type your letter, select it with the mouse and set the desired size. That's just the creators of Word and other programs by no means thought that someone comes to mind to put such font size, at which one letter occupies the entire A4 sheet. For this reason, in the font size selection list, the maximum size is not so big - "only" 72 points.


Times not right size, then you can just write it in the selection list, as shown in the figure, since the font size selection list is editable (what-what???). Unclear? Then you urgently need to learn Windows.

Again. Select your letter, then erase what is written there in the font selection list, and write what you need. What number to write? This generally depends on which type of font is selected. Pick up until your letter is exactly the size of an A4 sheet. In my example, this is 800 points (more precisely, I was too lazy to select).

Other ways to enlarge the letter to A4 size

As you may have noticed, the method shown above of stretching the letter to the entire A4 sheet has an obvious drawback - no matter how you increase the font size, the letter stubbornly does not want to become centered on A4. In the example below, this drawback is completely eliminated and the letter is located exactly in the center of the A4 sheet.

In this example, the problem is solved in a different way, but again in Word. It is worth remembering that almost any task has more than one way of implementation. You just need to be good at what you are doing. However, method number one is much more popular - few people want to think!

How to print numbers on an entire A4 sheet in Word

A very similar task - in my opinion, and generally completely similar to the one discussed above. To create huge numbers for the size of A4, you can use all the same methods that I showed in. So if you need to make one number fit on the sheet (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or the number 0), then consider that you can already do it. Well, this, of course, if you carefully read what was written above.

And in addition to this, I, perhaps, will show you another way to increase the inscriptions to the entire sheet. Namely, contour symbols in A4 size. An example is shown in the figure. True, there is already a fill there, but you can guess for yourself how to remove it ... (hint: shape properties).

Why is this needed? Well, for example, in order to color it all later. :) And indeed - after all, color printers are not so common. By the way, you can read about printing color images on a black and white printer.

To make a figure in the entire A4 sheet, first remove the margins or make them as narrow as possible (about changing the margins). After that, from the Ribbon menu in the "Insert" section, select WordArt and add it to the sheet. Then just increase the font, everything is clear. It is only worth considering one feature.

Use the text frame markers around the edges to expand the margin so that your number will fit. Otherwise, it will go beyond the borders of the frame and part of the figure will not be visible. You also need to center the text so that it is in the middle of the sheet. To do this, drag it outside the border of the frame (usually down).

Features of printing letters in A4 sheet size

There are some features of text printing such sizes that I did not show above (lazy). You can watch it in a demo video where I show the process of creating giant letters in Word.

A few helpful notes for touch typists who hate using a mouse:
Change the font in the text - press Ctrl + Shift + F (Ctrl + Shift + A), while the font change window in the formatting panel is activated.

After pressing "Enter", the entered style is applied to the paragraph, and if the style does not exist, then it is created based on the formatting of the paragraph where the cursor is.
Entering an endnote. You can, of course, climb into the menu for this, but this again implies the use of a mouse!

It is very easy to remove unused buttons from the panel by simply dragging them out of the panel with the mouse while pressing Alt, in the same way, with Alt pressed, you can change the location of the buttons without getting into the options and settings windows (with Alt + Ctrl pressed - you can make a copy of the button). With the same manipulations, you can place buttons in the menu and menu sections in the toolbar with buttons.
Sometimes there is a problem and you need to change the case of letters, for this we stand on the word in which you need to change the case (or select several words) and press Shift + F3 several times, depending on how you want: All Letters are Large At the Beginning of Words, CAPITAL or lowercase.
