My wife is teaching young children to write. It would be useful to have dotted text that the children can copy over. Does anyone know how to do this?

From memory, something like this might be useful.
(in case you don't know) download the zip file, copy the files onto your computer, then go to Start - Settings - Control Panel - Fonts.
Click 'file' and 'install new font' and browse to where your font was copied to.
Hope it's suitable!0 -
Interesting that the font was created in December 1994!
A possible alternative might be to use "shadowed" characters in Word. Type the sentence you want in a large point size (36 point?) of (probably) Arial, highlight it, then click on Format, then Font, then tick the box in front of Outline, and OK out. Then the children would just have to follow the inside of the outlined characters (pencil/colour in!)...

Thanks indiegirl, just what I was after.
Thanks John as well, not thought of that, but it will guide them by staying inside the lines.0
