Hi,

I've tried selecting letter by letter, and then selecting the whole block with the square marquee and then using grow...but nothings working.

any suggestions?

what I'd do is somewhat like this:

assuming it's black writing on white paper (if it's not then redo it)

go to select | colour range and select all the white. delete it.
make a new white fill for your background.
ctrl-click the layer with the writing. Press D on the keyboard to get black as you fg colour. alt-backspace to fill.
If that doesn't do it then try select | modify | expand and refill

good luck

The only thing I can think of would be to blur writting, duplicate the layer and set the layer mode to multiply, then copy the layer a couple of times..the blur will turns solid....then sharpen it.
