Almost all major Macintosh and Windows page-layout programs will now allow you to freely position and align type behind
type. You can precisely place your monogram in an oval frame with:
• Adobe InDesign
• Quark XPress
• Adobe Illustrator
• Corel Draw and MS Publisher
• The Print Shop for Macintosh & Windows
• and many others
N OTE
If you are unsure, you may want check to see if your software has a type-on-a-path tool that allows for positioning before
purchasing the Ark Monogram Set.
Some bare-bones word-processors, such as TextEdit (Mac) and MSWordPad (Win), are too limited to align the oval frame.
