Apply Text Effects

You can add visual interest to your Word

documents by taking advantage of Word’s

various text effects. These effects include

common formatting such as strikethrough

and subscripts, but also fancier looks such

as shadows, outlines, embossing, and

engraving.

Embossing formats the text to look as though it is raised

slightly from the document; engraving formats the text to

look as though it is etched into the document.
