COURSE TEXT

Your document is complete, but something's missing, and you don't have a lot of time to hand-craft graphical pizzazz. Word has a large, built-in store of attractive backgrounds, borders, shading, and text effects that you can apply quickly to the page or to text for instant effect. In this course we show you how.
