You may already have seen the Word Art tool, a feature that's been available in Microsoft Word for years. Now the tool is built right into Outlook 2007. You can spiff up e-mail messages with all kinds of colorful graphics and individual designs.

Follow these steps to add Word Art in Outlook 2007:

1. Create a new e-mail.

2. Click the Insert tab.

3. Click the Word Art button.

4. Click one of the examples in the gallery of available text styles.

5. Type some text.

6. Click OK.

Try to use Word Art sparingly, at least in business situations; otherwise, your business colleagues might begin to see you as slightly insane.
