That's pretty cool Rob. Any idea how / where to download some of these things to use in a Word document or in Outlook?

Mozilla Firefox users, you will not see all of the above 'effects'. Please refer to this thread for an explanation. Thanks! (FireFox folks please check in!)

Tom, the effects you see above are specific to Internet Explorer. The only way you (potentially) could use these in Outlook or Word would be to create your document in HTML format. Outlook can use "Word" as it's email editor, or it can use it's own built-in editor. Either option allows for HTML editing/formatting if selected, but I can't guarantee it will work / format correctly. Additionally, I couldn't say with any certainty that the recipient would see the email as you intended it. It could end up arriving with a bunch of verbose formatting statements in it.
Who knows, maybe almost 3 years after your initial inquirey things may have changed!
