Transcript: Creating Word Art in Microsoft Publisher

Hi. I'm Don Schechter for About.com Computing.

Today I'll show you how to add WordArt to your document in Microsoft Publisher. This is a great way to add flair to newsletters, calendars, or any other publication. First open Microsoft Publisher. You can use a pre-designed publication, but I will start with a blank one.

Publisher WordArt Tools

To insert WordArt, click the word art icon on the left sidebar. A box will appear where you can choose the style you want. I'll choose this one. Now click OK.

Publisher WordArt Text

Type in your text. Here I can adjust the font. I can also change the size and style. Click OK. Now your word art will appear on your document. Notice the WordArt toolbox.

Publisher WordArt Fonts

If you want to change the font, size or style of your text, click Edit Text.

Publisher WordArt Type

To change the type of WordArt you chose, click the WordArt Gallery icon.

Publisher WordArt Color

To change the color of the word art, click Format WordArt. Click on the color drop down menu to change the color. Click ok when you're done.

Publisher WordArt Orientation

If you'd like to rotate your text so it s diagonal, move your mouse over the green circle, click and rotate.
