I had myself a wonder the other day: since Microsoft Word has its own built-in access to alternates and ligatures and other fancy extras in a font, could I use it to build words and phrases, and then just copy those over to Cricut Design Space?  The answer is a resounding YES!  If you have Word, you don’t need to grab those alternates/extras one at a time from Character Map or Font Book.

(I also had a great time making the video thumbnail, with good ol’ Clippy!)
