word are is a feature that lets you add
effects to your text 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 to give this presentation a fun
informal look and it would be great if
the stay active text could be a little
more interesting I'm going to select the
text and then go to the format tab and
we're going to focus on the word art
styles group if you click the more
drop-down arrow you can choose a
predefined word art style this will
apply several different effects to the
text at once however none of these are
quite what I'm looking for so I'm just
going to click out of that and I'm just
going to create my own word art by
selecting a fill color an outline color
and some effects let's start by choosing
in effect the transform effects will
actually change the shape of the text
I'd like it to have a curved look for
the fill color I'd like a bright red so
I'll go to the text fill drop-down arrow
if you don't see the exact color you
want you can go to more fill colors but
if it's a color that you've already used
in the presentation then it may also
appear in recent colors this is the
color that I'm looking for and for the
outline color I want white to help those
letters really stand out
here you can also change the weight of
the line or make it dashed I'm going to
change the weight to six points to make
the outline easier to see
if you want you can even add some more
effects until you get it exactly the way
you want it I think I'd like to add a
bevel this will make the text look kind
of 3d now the text has the unique look
that I was going for try experimenting
with different effects and colors to see
what you come up with
