Human: I'm trying to make a poster. How do I make sure the letters are straight?

Assistant: If your poster is going to be straight lines, you could first use the ruler tool to line up the edges of the page.  You'll also need to put text on each of the lines to make it look like there are separate letters.  
Can you tell me if the poster is going to be a grid or some other shape, or if there will be a picture of something in the center?

Assistant: In general, when you're laying out text in a computer, it can be hard to make sure things are perfectly straight without it looking unnatural.  A lot of people are used to looking at text or images that were produced on paper, where everything is roughly the same distance from you and even slight variations in spacing are too noticeable.  In this case, you can try the following: you can use the "leading" in Microsoft Word to make the text bigger (or smaller) to make it seem straighter, by inserting extra space between letters or words, and then lowering the size of the font you're using.
