Text Fill provides not just solid colour fills for characters, but gradient fills which can be radial as well as linear and can be angled as well as vertical or horizontal.ģ-D Format provides facilities to produce embossed text, with parameters to adjust its width and height and its type of material. There are two other Text Effects not directly available from the button in the Home tab: Text Fill and 3-D Format. If these aren't enough, Glow Options offers independent adjustment of size and transparency. Glow adds a fuzzy, coloured outline to your text and there are 24 presets available, in six different colours and four different intensities. Reflection Options offer similar controls to those for shadows. Reflection controls offer nine different presets to add a reflection of selected text, creating the illusion of a polished surface below it. Perspective shadow enables text to appear to float.Ĭlicking on Shadow Options at the bottom of the Shadow menu opens up the Format Text Effects dialogue which gives separate control over transparency, size, blur, angle and distance, with enough variation to create a huge variety of shadow effects. Shadow adds a variety of internal and external shadows which can be used to raise text off the page.

You can change the colour, the weight of the line and whether it's solid or broken. Outline controls the look of the character edges.
