What is WordArt?

WordArt is text with special effects. You can create shadowed, skewed, rotated, and stretched text, as well as text with particular shapes. The special text effect created with WordArt is a Drawing object, so you can also use buttons on the Drawing toolbar to change the effect, such as filling the text effect with a picture.

Note: WordArt is a drawing object and is not treated as text. You won't be able to see the text effect in outline view or check its spelling as you would ordinary text.

Here are some examples of WordArt:
