Scrambled Words!
I
got this idea from watching the programs you can buy where you type in a word
or phrase and then it prints out a page that has symbols that you have to
decode using a key below. There are four different versions for four different
fonts. The idea is if you don't have one font maybe you will have one of the
others. Webdings is probably the best. Be sure to read the instructions they
contain some good tips for creating these. All files are in Microsoft Word.
