But here are a few pointers to get you started. Once you have the WordArt toolbar on your screen, you'll see a number of icons on it. The first is a tilted blue A. Click on it and a dazzling display of 30 sample layouts will appear. Click on any one of them and a window will appear into which you'll type your phrase and choose the font size, style and color you prefer. Alternate designs are waving banners, triangles and a variety of geometric shapes.
Some designs even have the letters of the phrase stacked, reading from top to bottom.
Color choices will be found under Format, Borders and Shading. Other MS-Word Draw toolbar options are those for adding various types of shadows. Word's Draw toolbar can be accessed by going to View, Toolbars, Drawing. Users of Corel WordPerfect have a similar tool called TextArt, whose functions are very similar to WordArt.
