WordArt is a feature that lets you add effects
to your text, it's really useful when you

00:00:16.400 --> 00:00:20.710
just want to give a title or a heading some
more energy, and it's also just a great feature

00:00:20.710 --> 00:00:22.279
to experiment with.

00:00:22.279 --> 00:00:28.400
I want to give this presentation a fun, informal
look, and it would be great if the Stay Active

00:00:28.400 --> 00:00:31.189
text could be a little more interesting.

00:00:31.189 --> 00:00:36.739
I'm going to select the text... and then go
to the Format tab.

00:00:36.739 --> 00:00:40.899
And we're going to focus on the WordArt Styles
group.

00:00:40.899 --> 00:00:46.489
If you click the More drop-down arrow, you
can choose a pre-defined WordArt style.

00:00:46.489 --> 00:00:51.290
This will apply several different effects
to the text at once, however, none of these

00:00:51.290 --> 00:00:53.190
are quite what I'm looking for.

00:00:53.190 --> 00:00:55.930
So I'm just going to click out of that...

00:00:55.930 --> 00:01:01.519
And I'm just going to create my own WordArt
by selecting a Fill color, an Outline color,

00:01:01.519 --> 00:01:03.239
and some effects.

00:01:03.239 --> 00:01:05.440
Let's start by choosing an effect.

00:01:05.440 --> 00:01:10.500
The Transform effects will actually change
the shape of the text...

00:01:10.500 --> 00:01:16.079
I'd like it to have a curved look.

00:01:16.079 --> 00:01:18.830
For the fill color, I'd like a bright red.

00:01:18.830 --> 00:01:22.719
So I'll go to the Text Fill drop-down arrow.

00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:27.930
If you don't see the exact color you want,
you can go to More Fill Colors.

00:01:27.930 --> 00:01:32.619
But if it's a color that you've already used
in the presentation, then it may also appear

00:01:32.619 --> 00:01:34.800
in Recent Colors.

00:01:34.800 --> 00:01:37.850
This is the color that I'm looking for.

00:01:37.850 --> 00:01:44.170
And for the outline color, I want white to
help those letters really stand out...

00:01:44.170 --> 00:01:48.429
Here you can also change the weight of the
line or make it dashed.

00:01:48.429 --> 00:01:54.729
I'm going to change the weight to six points
to make the outline easier to see.

00:01:54.729 --> 00:01:59.109
If you want, you can even add some more effects
until you get it exactly the way you want

00:01:59.109 --> 00:02:00.109
it.

00:02:00.109 --> 00:02:02.210
I think I'd like to add a bevel.

00:02:02.210 --> 00:02:04.359
This will make the text look kind of 3-D.

00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:10.009
Now, the text has the unique look that I was
going for.

00:02:10.009 --> 00:02:13.790
Try experimenting with different effects and
colors to see what you come up with.
