This may not be the appropriate newsgroup for my question. It concerns fonts
that have an appearance of being three-dimensional. Other appear to have
shading that is "soft" or cloudlike. Can anyone advise as to either
formatting fonts or purchasing those that will work within Publisher 2002?

I'd suggest either using a graphics program such as Photoshop Elements or
searching Google for a font that suits your needs.

I haven't found a font that will not work within Publisher, there are probably
some, but I haven't run into one.

Is there something special you wanted to do with a font?

I would like the font on the cover of the brochure I'm creating to stand
out.
If you would please look at the following link as an example.
http://www.overstock.com/cgi-bin/d2....cid=95472&fp=F

See how the "$1 Shipping Today Only" looks?

I'd like to achieve something like that in the printed brochure.

When you format a font, you can use a shadow. You will have no control over the
color. Attached is a five minute exercise. WordArt can work, you can select the
color for the shadow, there are 3D options as well.

Mary Sauer was very recently heard to
utter:

A ten-minute effort...

They must have changed the ad because that looks flat to me.

I still think you need to use a graphics program and create whatever text
you need with that. Add your effects and save it as a graphic.
