How to Write in Classic Font

In letter writing, the words "classic font" describe any font within a word processing program stylized after cursive handwriting. In handwritten letters, cursive is a style in which words possess interconnected letters and appear to flow across the page through the use of steady directed hand strokes. Here are a few easy methods to recreate this style for your letter in a word processing program.

Instructions

1. Open your word processing program and type your letter.

2. Save your letter.

3. Select your font menu or font option field. Most word processing programs have a font option field, formatting toolbar with font option, or drop down format menu from which you can choose your font options.

4. Experiment with different fonts. If you find a font that you like, but would like to continue experimenting with all available fonts, save your letter with the chosen font under a new name that includes the font style within the name (for example, "Letter - Lucinda Handwriting" or "Letter - Freestyle Script").

5. Visit your word processing program's technical support website to download any additional classic font styles that weren't available when you purchased your software and then experiment with those styles as well.

6. View your text in additional styles, if you don't like the Classic styles available in your word processing program, at a font retailer website by following the Resources link. Although there are many free font websites, this website provides a fast online font comparison resource and an easy-to-use sampling tool.

7. Choose your font style and print your letter. If you would prefer to write the letter by hand, print the letter in your chosen font style and practice handwriting in that style until you have learned to emulate the style.
