WordArt is a gallery of text styles and effects that you can add to your presentations. With WordArt, you can add spectacular effects to the text of your slides – you can shadow it, bevel it, mirror it, and make it glow. In addition, PowerPoint 2007 allows you convert existing text into WordArt format. As with text boxes, you can apply formatting to WordArt shape as well as change the text itself.
The WordArt button is located on the Insert Ribbon on the Text group and will launch the WordArt Gallery when clicked. From the Gallery, select the style of WordArt you wish to add and then type the text for your WordArt object.
From the contextual Format tab (which displays when the WordArt object is selected), you can apply a variety of text effects by clicking the Text Effects button on the WordArt styles group.
To Insert WordArt into a slide:
- Click the WordArt button on the Text group of the Insert tab on the Ribbon.
- Click on the desired WordArt format in the WordArt Gallery.
To Convert Existing Text to WordArt
- Select the text that you want to convert to WordArt.
- Click the WordArt button on the Text group of the Insert tab.
- Click on the desired WordArt format in the WordArt Gallery.
