An unlikely Icon creation tool

We all know that Photoshop, Illustrator, and CorelDraw are good image editors for creating icons, but what most people don't know is that Microsoft Word 2007 can be a decent icon creation tool as well. I believe that it's a great tool for those who are new at creating icons, because:

In fact, most of my skins including my icons, calendars, and right-click skins I have submitted so far on WinCustomize have been made with a combination of MS Word 2007 and Paint.NET.

So what makes Word so special, apart from other image editors? I have a list of features of what Word can do that many people don't realize:

And that's just the half of it. If you are experienced with using Paint.NET, Photoshop, or other image editors, you can add AMAZING effects to your icons, such as glow, blurring, reflections, 3D rendering, additional layers, and the list goes on.

Overall, Word does an OK job with graphics by itself, but if you have the expreience, I would stick with CorelDraw or Photoshop instead. It's great to not only think different, but also to be different.
