Embossing Text

Summary: Word can make your text look as if it has been embossed on the page. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, and Word 2003.)

One of the ways in which you can format text in your document is to apply what Word calls "embossing." When you emboss text, it appears to be lifted off the page, with shadowing at the edges. This feature was introduced in Word 97, so it is not available in Word 6 or Word 95. To emboss text, follow these steps:

  1. Choose the text you want to emboss.
  2. Choose Font from the Format menu. Word displays the Font dialog box. (Click here to see a related figure.)
  3. Make sure the Emboss check box is selected.
  4. Click on OK.

You can also play with different font colors and background colors to make the embossed text appear different.

Tip #637 applies to Microsoft Word versions: 97 | 2000 | 2002 | 2003

Great Idea! Word is a tool to get what you really want—printed output. This means you need to make sure that Word works as well as possible with your printer, whether it is sitting on your desk or in a room down the hall.
