2. Choose Format from the menu bar, and click on Font.
The Font dialog box opens. Click on the Text Effects tab.
   

Use Text Effects to add some dazzling effects to your text.

4. Once you've made your choice, click OK, for the changes to take effect.

If you want to remove Text Effects from your characters, go back to the Font dialog box, and choose (none).

Bold, Italic, Underline

Embellishing Microsoft Word fonts text with boldface, italics, underlines, and other font styles and text effects is easy. You can do it with the Formatting toolbar or by way of the FormatFont command.

The following table show which buttons to use. They are on the Formatting Toolbar. Instead, you can use the shortcut key using the keyboard.

Word Office Helper Q: Why is my Bold / Italic / Underline not showing?

Remember to select your text first, then apply Bold, Italic or Underline!

Button Name Keyboard Shortcut What it does...
Bold
Word XP : bold button
CTRL + B Select the text first if you've already entered it. Bold thickens the letters. It is often used in headings.
Italic
Word XP : italic button
CTRL + I Select the text first if you've already entered it. Italics are used to show emphasis and also for foreign words such as voil, gung hay fat choy, and Que magnifico!
Underline
Word XP : underline button
CTRL + U Select the text first if you've already entered it. Underline draws a line underneath a word.

Double Underline can be found in the FormatFont dialog box.
