You can print the lists in word. Use shift+control+ < or > to reduce or
increase the size of the font beyond the choices offered on the
pull-down.
I loved learning that shortcut.
Enjoy.

Hi Shannon,
We print out our numbers on acid free paper using an inkjet printer
(specifically an Epson Stylus Color 800).  We print them out of an Excel
spreadsheet because we can get the point size down to 6 point (Microsoft
Word only goes as small as 8 point).  We then cut up the numbers and
apply them with tweezers.  We apply a base coat of B-72 in acetone and
place the number in the still wet base coat.  We then apply a final coat
over the still wet B-72 and paper number.  It is very legible, fast,
easy, efficient and we have had no problem with the ink running or
fading.
Sincerely,
David Ryan
