Apply text effects to your email messages in Outlook (2000/2002/2003)

[Minnie]

I just love this little added touch. It is easy to do too.

 

Variety is the spice of life, so why have your email messages look like everyone else's? It's easy to add a little variety to your messages with the help of text effects. First, we must set Word as our email editor. To do so, choose Tools | Options from the Outlook menu bar. Next, clik on the Mail Format tab and select the Use Microsoft Word To Edit E-mail Messages check box (the name of the check box varies depending on your versions of Outlook and Word). Then, click OK. At this point, create a new message and enter some text in the message area. Next, select all or some of your text, depending on what text you want to apply a special effect to. Then, select Format | Font from the message form's menu bar. Next, click on the Text Effects tab, select a text effect from the Animations list box, and click OK.
