You're unlikely to find a single color that will really much resemble
metallic gold, and since fonts in Word can't be formatted with a gradient,
you'll have to settle for a single color, which will be a sort of
orangey-yellow. There are only two ways that I know of to get true metallic
gold:

1. Use a desktop printer that takes a gold ink cartridge in place of black.
In this case, you set the type as black (Automatic) as usual, but it comes
out gold.

2. Ditto for a commercial printer. You set the copy in black, and he prints
it with gold ink.

I am writing up a 50th wedding invitation and would like the type to be in
gold. What combinations of colors should I try? I have a Lexmark 1150

printer.
