Even if your work is boring, your documents shouldn’t be. The latest version of Microsoft Office makes it easier than ever to create attractive documents, thanks to some cool new tools for covering up text, displaying images, and embedding video.

You don’t have to be a graphics professional to take benefit of these features, and the suite Live Preview and Undo commands persuade trialing by letting you painlessly ditch looks you don’t like. Try these nine simple features to add a little eye-candy to any document you create.

Create your own calligraphy (Word, Publisher): Want to give a document a complex copperplate handwriting look?
