Thank you
My worksheets didn’t look anything like yours when I downloaded them. None of them had the dotted lines for tracing or balloon letters for coloring. What did I do wrong.
Hi! Thank you for taking the time to comment. I know that Adobe Reader was having issues with mac. I think you might need to update it. Let me know if that works!
How do you edit??
Once you download the tracing worksheet – open it with Acrobat Reader and you should be able to add the name. Thanks.
Love these sheets, but unfortunately when I print these they just give me solid lines. No dotted lines or bubbled letters to color in. I’m not using a mac either. Everything is fully updated.
I am not sure – I open it in Acrobat Reader and use that software. It works on my end. I am not sure what the issue is. Sorry.
How do you change the type of font? Also wondering how to get dotted lines to trace and numbers to guide where to start.
Hi – thank you for commenting. To answer your question, this free name traceable document doesn’t have the option to change the font, the font is as it displays. It is as it is – their is no way to customize it except for the name.
What fonts do I need to download to get the dotted lines.
Hi,
The fonts are embedded in the document. Perhaps try updating acrobat reader. If you still have problems let me know and I will try to help you troubleshoot.
