namespace Sample
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            WordDocument doc = new WordDocument();

            // Embossed text
            Run embossRun = new Run();
            embossRun.AddText("This text has emboss effect. ");
            embossRun.Emboss = ExtendedBoolean.True;
            embossRun.FontSize = 28;

            // Engraved text (imprint)
            Run imprintRun = new Run();
            imprintRun.AddText("This text has engrave/imprint effect. ");
            imprintRun.Imprint = ExtendedBoolean.True;
            imprintRun.FontSize = 28;

            // Outline text
            Run outlineRun = new Run();
            outlineRun.AddText("This text has outline effect. ");
            outlineRun.Outline = ExtendedBoolean.True;
            outlineRun.FontSize = 28;

            // Shadow text
            Run shadowRun = new Run();
            shadowRun.AddText("This text has shadow effect. ");
            shadowRun.Shadow = ExtendedBoolean.True;
            shadowRun.FontSize = 28;

            // Small caps text
            Run smallCapsRun = new Run();
            smallCapsRun.AddText("This text has Small Caps effect. ");
            smallCapsRun.SmallCaps = ExtendedBoolean.True;

            Paragraph paragraph1 = new Paragraph();
            paragraph1.Add(embossRun);

            Paragraph paragraph2 = new Paragraph();
            paragraph2.Add(imprintRun);

            Paragraph paragraph3 = new Paragraph();
            paragraph3.Add(outlineRun);

            Paragraph paragraph4 = new Paragraph();
            paragraph4.Add(shadowRun);

            Paragraph paragraph5 = new Paragraph();
            paragraph5.Add(smallCapsRun);

            doc.Body.Add(paragraph1);
            doc.Body.Add(paragraph2);
            doc.Body.Add(paragraph3);
            doc.Body.Add(paragraph4);
            doc.Body.Add(paragraph5);

            doc.Save("c:\\test\\output.docx", true);
        }
    }
}
