The Font Dialog box has a lot more options to choose from. You can add more effects to your text, your boss might even think you didn't use Microsoft Word fonts!

The Microsoft Word fonts dialog box allows you to add a different kind of underline, e.g. a double underline. You can change your characters to superscript or subscript, you can even change your text to all caps, add a shadow, emboss or engrave your text. The option for using double strikethrough is also available.

Word Office Helper Q: What is Superscript and Subscript?

Superscript makes characters smaller (than usual) and places the character above the baseline, e.g. 1st, 2nd, etc.

Subscript makes the characters smaller (than usual) and places the character below the baseline,
e.g. EGPlastic copyright etc.
