Replacing text formatting

When graphical computer operating systems appeared in the 1980s, users found themselves infectiously attracted to fonts. People played with text formatting, spicing up documents in frivolous and crude ways. It was fun, but odious: Documents looked like someone had hired a color-blind man to paint a house.

The adoration for fonts hasn’t diminished over time, but people today have a bit more respect for a document’s text. In a professional environment, you want to choose a font that’s appropriate, tasteful, and consistent with a good layout and design. You can hire a graphic artist, but while you remain cheap, you can rely upon Word’s various typeface tools to assist you.
