Graphics in Word 2000

WordArt

One of the most interesting tools available in Word 2000 is the WordArt feature, located on the Drawing toolbar. It allows you to take any text you wish and make it into a very fancy graphic. To use WordArt, cut the text you wish to use from your document and click on the WordArt button.

As an example, we'll use the rainbow WordArt style, which is the fourth item in the third row. You then get a dialog box where you can paste your text. The box shown below shows the pasted text with a new font and font size.

When you click on OK, the WordArt will be inserted into your document, and you can drag it to any location you wish. If you need to, the WordArt toolbar also appears to allow you to make changes.

You can use the buttons on the WordArt toolbar to edit the text, rotate the image, change letter heights, and format the image. A prime example is the WordArt Shape button.

As an example, we will use the Wave 2 style, third row, sixth from left. Here is the result
