Use WordArt to create opaque letters in Microsoft Word.

Microsoft Word is a word processing application that can create and edit advanced features such as font sizes, font colors and font shadows. Word also has a feature -- WordArt -- that you can use to transform words into images in order to do sophisticated tasks. Find this feature in the "Text" section of the "Insert" tab of the ribbon. To create an opaque word in a document, use WordArt to type in the text, then mimic the font and font size to make the text look the same as the text in the rest of the document.
