Answer 1

Text effects create an image that says so much more than the text itself.
The effects give a theme or goal to our presentation.
In a document there should not be more than 4-5 text effects(in 10-15 pages of document) because it
starts looking chaotic and unsettled. Keeping the text effects simple,
and not so attractive make presentation more formal.

If we use too many Text effects in our document give a cheesy, fake
look and make our document look more childish. Adding too many text
effects may also distract the viewer from our valuable content.

The document is overwhelmed when there are too many text effects
which is making the document look horrible and not easy to understand.

Yes the type of text effect used in a document should vary from
document to document. For Ex:- If it is a formal document then the
Text should should be simple and avoid using too cartoonish styles.

Mainly, Intro part and headings of the document should be made using
text syling and text effects.
The body text should be written and styled accoeding to the text
effect used in the heading. Content which is not too serious to
talk about can include text effects.
