Word 2003 is powerful: it has a lot of useful facilities for changing the font and it can also accurately represent the different fonts on the screen. It was once the case that if you made something bold you couldn't see what it actually looked like on the screen until you printed the document out! This is called as WYSIWYG, pronounced “wuzzywig”, it is an acronym that stands for “what you see is what you get”.
2. Apply the formatting stated by the entry to the text. You may find some of the options available from the formatting tool bar, but to find some of them you need to select Font from the Format menu at the top of the screen.
Click, Do & Learn – Advanced Formatting 3. You also have more advanced features available often associated with desktop publishing packages. Select Font from the Format menu and notice the three tabs at the top of the dialogue box that appears: Font, Character Spacing and Animation. 4. Select the Character Spacing tab and try the different options to see what happens. Ensure you click on Cancel when you have finished so the changes do not affect your work. These options are generally only used when you are producing newspapers or magazines and have small columns to work with. 5. Copy out the text below, ignoring bullet points

6. Using the Text Effects tab in the font dialogue box (Format, Font), apply the stated animation effects to the five lines.
