How to use WordArt in Microsoft Word

WordArt is a drawing tool used to create text with special effects. WordArt enables an object to be formatted, rotated, realigned, and stretched to predefined shapes. Also, the color and fill of the WordArt object can be changed.

To insert and format a WordArt object:
1.       From the Insert tab, Text group, click the WordArt button; then click the desired style from the WordArt gallery.
Note: the WordArt object appears in the document with generic highlighted text, and a Drawing Tools tab appears with a Format tab below it.
2.       With the generic text still highlighted, type the desired text, and adjust the text box to accommodate the new text as desired.

3.       From the Drawing Tools, Format tab, click on the various tools to experiment with the features.

o    From the Arrange group, click the Wrap Text button, and click In Front of Text to drag the WordArt freely.

o   In the WordArt Styles group, click the Text Fill, Text Outline, and Text Effects buttons to experiment with fills, outlines, and effects.

o   Under Text Effects, click Transform to display a gallery of shapes. Point to a shape to display the shape name and to view the Live Preview.

o   From the Shape Styles group, click the Shape Fill, Shape Outline, and Shape Effects buttons to experiment with fills, outlines, and effects.

o   From the Shape Styles group, click the More list arrow to display the style gallery. Point to a style to display the style name and to view the Live Preview.
