How to Add Color to Your Text in Word 2007

The Font Color button in Word 2007 lets you add color to text in your documents. You can use the default color chosen by Word, or choose your own color to apply. Color can add personality to your correspondence and provide punch in a business letter, but it can also make an important document extremely difficult to read. Choose your text color wisely.
