How to insert WordArt

WordArt

You can insert decorative text by using Insert WordArt on the Drawing toolbar. You can create shadowed, skewed, rotated, and stretched text, as well as text that has been fitted to predefined shapes.

Because a special text effect is a drawing object, you can also use other buttons on the Drawing toolbar to change the effect— for example, to fill a text effect with a picture.

 

Add WordArt

1. On the Drawing toolbar, click Insert WordArt .
2. Click the WordArt effect you want, and then click OK.
3. In the Edit WordArt Text dialog box, type the text you want.
4. Do any of the following:
• To change the font type, in the Font list, select a font.
• To change the font size, in the Size list, select a size.
• To make text bold, click the Bold button.
• To make text italic, click the Italic button.

 

Create a mirror image of an object

1. Click the AutoShape, picture, WordArt, or clip art you want to duplicate.
2. Click Copy and then click Paste.
3. On the Drawing toolbar, click Draw, point to Rotate or Flip, and then click Flip Horizontal or Flip Vertical.
4. Drag and position the duplicate object so that it mirrors the original object.

Note  You may need to override the Snap-To-Grid option to position the object precisely. To do this, press ALT as you drag the object.
