Because they are separate, you can create a much narrower button.Ĥ. Superimpose the text on top of the button. Draw a button using a shape from the shapes gallery.ģ. You also cannot reduce the spacing between the border of the button and the text. Line spacing significantly so that it doesn’t look out of place.
If you choose ‘Tight’ you can move it wherever you want within your text but you’ll probably have to increase your If you choose ‘In line with text’ you can insert it inline, but it sits on the baseline and looks rubbish. Format the border and colours as necessary.Ģ. Insert a textbox or a rounded rectangle, whatever takes your fancy. The closest thing I can come up with is this (and I hesitate because it’s not simple, neat or scaleable and takes a bit of time to set up):ġ. The paragraph styling is what you need to add a border and control the indentation (which would be used for padding within your button). The character styling applies to the individual characters. Unfortunately, you cannot create a style to add a box around a word or phrase. The sentence you see boked in point #3 above is a quick screenshot of the finished sentence from the document. The OK button is a screen capture directly from the Word dialog box. The Tab was created by downloading a free Keystroke font then inserting the appropriate symbol from that font. The effects you see in point #3 above were created like this. Okay, first, let me deliver the bad news before I make a couple of suggestions. I’m looking for a way to change the font style so that it happens automatically when the character style is changed. But, then MS Word thinks there is a spelling error. PS: I can “hack” this by manually “adding extra spaces” as needed.
My style shows the left border nearly on top of the first character and I’d like maybe 3 or more spaces in advance so that the word is properly centered on the button. So, my question is, how do I “add space” both before the first character and after the last character (not in between the characters, as would be the case with expanded font spacing). I can not get this effect and my buttons are squished closed to the border. You have a similar effect in item #3 above, with your “Tab” and “OK” buttons and it appears perfectly.
I have created a character style called “button” where the font has a border around the word. I can’t seem to find the answer elsewhere online. But, I had a question that I thought you may be able to help. I learned a few things about kerning and ligatures.
