Hi Folks,

Where is the Embossed font style in 2007, the one that is on the Formatting
toolbar in 2003?

Thanks,

Hi, Shane,

It's gone. We now have a variety of WordArt styles and effects on the
Drawing Tools Format tab (which becomes available when you select text or a
textbox). There are a number that will give you that same look, but there's
no plain ol' "embossed" setting like there used to be. (FWIW, I have to go
to Format | Font to get that in 2003 -- it's not on my Formatting toolbar.)

Hi Echo,

That was what I figured, but I just wanted to make sure. And regarding the
command on the toolbar, quite right - its not on the toolbar its in the
dialog box.

Cheers,
Shane
