I do what Marilyn does, but use PSCC 2024. Sometimes I'll drag all the letters onto an altogether new document by themselves, orient them to one another as desired, then collapse them all into one layer. Then put them onto the working document and size it all as one layer wherever you want. Yes, it can be tedious. I avoided alphas altogether for alot of years for exactly this reason. But play around with your work flow and find what works for you. In time I promise you'll be comfortable and learn to love your alpha collection.
