Creating WordArt Text
The WordArt feature lets you create stylized text to draw attention to your most important words. Most users apply WordArt to a word or a short phrase, such as Make a Difference. You should apply WordArt to a document sparingly. Its visual appeal and unique look requires uncluttered space. When you use WordArt, you can choose from a variety of text styles that come with the WordArt Style gallery (New!), or you can create your own using tools in the WordArt Styles group. You can also use the free angle handle (pink diamond) inside the selected text box to adjust your WordArt text angle.
