Adding Formatting to Shape Text

You can format text in a shape the same way you format text on a document page. You can change several font attributes—such as bold, italic, underline, font color and gradient, outline, shadow, reflection, glow, 3-D, or highlight—to enhance data to catch the reader’s attention. The main formats you apply to text are available on the Home tab in the Font group or in the Font dialog box. However, you can also use the WordArt Styles on the Format tab under Drawing Tools. Some of the additional formats available include strikethrough, subscript, superscript, small caps, all caps, underline style, and hidden.
