Formatting WordArt Text
You can change the look of WordArt text by applying effects (New!), such as shadows, glows, reflections, glows, 3-D rotations, and text transformations. You can apply effects to a shape by using the Quick Styles and Effects gallery for quick results. From the Quick Styles and Effects gallery you can apply a built-in combination of 3-D effects or individual effects to WordArt text. In addition to applying one of the preformatted WordArt styles, you can also create your own style by shaping your text into a variety of shapes, curves, styles, and color patterns. The Colors, Weights, and Fills panel on the Formatting Palette tab gives you tools for changing the fill and outline of your WordArt text.
