Information that is passed via network can be easily hacked. Security becomes mandatory to the information passed through communication lines. Steganography makes the information to be passed with no suspicion. The proposed method for securing MS-word document using look-alike fonts is used to hide secret message in a cover text. Hexadecimal code combined with pattern table of look-alike fonts. By using look-alike fonts give similar between cover and stego text. Two methods have been taken to compare with proposed method. In proposed MS-word document using look-alike fonts the embedding capacity is high when compared to other two techniques because all alphabet letters are used to hide and its similarity measure is high. Criteria have been used to measure the goodness of the algorithm. Similarity measures and capacity ratio are also used to find wellness of the proposed method.
