Engraving Text

Summary: Defining what Engrave Text is and how to use it in your Word document. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, and Word 2003.)

One of the ways in which you can format text in your document is to apply what Word calls "engraving." When you engrave text, it appears to be sunken into the page, with shadowing at the edges. Engraved text is the opposite of embossed text. This formatting attribute was introduced in Word 97, so it is not available in Word 6 or Word 95. To engrave text, follow these steps:

  1. Choose the text you want to engrave.
  2. Choose Font from the Format menu. Word displays the Font dialog box.
  3. Make sure the Engrave check box is selected.
  4. Click on OK.

You can also play with different font colors and background colors to make the engraved text appear different.

Tip #1432 applies to Microsoft Word versions: 97 | 2000 | 2002 | 2003


Great Idea! Word is a tool to get what you really want—printed output. This means you need to make sure that Word works as well as possible with your printer, whether it is sitting on your desk or in a room down the hall.
