Using Font Dingbats
Dingbats are types of fonts we use to enhance graphics. They are normal fonts that are kept in our Windows>Font folder and we apply them with our Text Tool but they come in shapes. Here are examples from some of my collection. The bigger font size we make these the more detail you would see. These are in order from A to Z, if there are fewer Dings on an example it means not all fonts have a corresponding letter dings.

Here is another Link to a Webpage with free Font downloads..Remember to Download them to your C:\Windows\Font folder.
* When I put "Font" into my Search Engine to find sites with free downloads my Search Engine came back with 3,830,000 links.
*Don't forget we can make background sets for Emails too! The only rule that applies to this is it must be going out to the same email program as your are using. AOL people can not send an email with a graphic background to Outlook Express people and vise versa. If you try it will be sent out as an attachment.
