Is it possible to create a font that has the colour of gold? Kind regards Allan
Select Font from the Format menu and then in the Font dialog, use the Font color: pull down to select the "Gold" color. -- Hope this helps.

To get something that looks like really gold lettering requires an application more sophisticated than Word because you have to use a color gradient, some fancy shading, etc. -- Suzanne S.

This is because fonts themselves can't carry any color information, they're just one color and background. There are numerous text effect techniques available in graphic applications that specialize in them. A nice one is FontTwister, free from Neuber.com. There are dozens of others, both free and commercial. These include TextTone, Xara, Font FX and more. There are also LOTS of on-line tutorials. Major illustration/paint/draw programs can also do such things. These include Photoshop, Illustrator, Corel Draw, and many more. - Character
If you want an effect that applies a metallic sheen to the letters and/or graphics, there is a product called Lasercolor. It is a foil that you attach over a page printed in black on a laser printer, and run the page through the printer, printing a blank page. The heat of the printer fuses the colored foil to the black toner on the page. Look for it at www.paperdirect.com -- Ted
Has anybody actually had much success with that? I tried a sample once and wasn't very satisfied with the results. -- Suzanne S.

I use it all the time, quite successfully. The trick is to use very smooth paper - card stock must be 110 lb index, not 67 lb cover stock which is somewhat rough. For letter-weight, try a very bright surface (at least 94%) which is smoother, or an inkjet paper. -- Ted
