WordArt is a feature that lets you add effects to
your text,
and it's really useful when you just want to give a
title or a heading some more energy,
and it's also just a great feature to experiment with.
I want this presentation to have a fun, informal look,
and it would be great if the Going Green text could be a little more interesting.
I'm going to highlight the text, and then go to
the Format tab.
And we're going to focus on the WordArt Styles group.
If you click the More drop-down arrow, you can
choose a pre-defined WordArt style,
and this will apply several different effects to the text at once.
But none of these are quite what I'm looking for,
so I'm going to click out of that.
And I'm just going to create my own WordArt by
selecting a Fill color,
an Outline color, and some effects.
Let's start by choosing an effect.
The Transform effects will actually change the
shape of the text.
I'd like it to have kind of a wavy look.
For the outline, I'd like a really bright green.
So I'll go to the Text Outline drop-down arrow.
And if you don't see the exact color you want, you
can go to More Outline Colors.
But if it's a color that you've already used in
the presentation,
then it may also appear in Recent colors.
And this is the color that I'm looking for.
And for the fill color, I want a medium-dark green.
And here is the color that I want.
If you want, you can even add some more effects until you get it exactly the way you want
it.
I think I'd just like to add a bevel.
This will make the text look kind of 3-D.
Now, the text has the unique look that I was going
for.
And you can just experiment with different effects
and colors, and see what you can come up with.
