Illustrator Help Please!

Well, I think this would best be done in Illustrator.

I have some text that I want to appear raised. No, I don't want to do a drop shadow. I want the letters to look puffy or bevelled.

Please explain to me how to do this. My Classroom In A Book and the Illustrator Help aren't helping.

If you double-click on the Text Layer in the "Layer" window you should get the Text Effects window yes?

You should have a Bevel option there.

Yeah, I just figured out why the bevelling wasn't working: I'm an idiot.
