Modifying WordArt Text Position
You can apply a number of text effects to your WordArt objects that determine alignment and direction. The effects of some of the adjustments you make are more pronounced for certain WordArt styles than others. Some of these effects make the text unreadable for certain styles, so apply these effects carefully. You can apply effects to a shape by using the Format Shape dialog box for custom results. You can also use the free rotate handle (green circle) at the top of the selected text box to rotate your WordArt text. In addition, you can use the Rotation button on the Size, Rotation, and Ordering panel on the Formatting Palette tab to rotate your WordArt text left or right or flip it.
