Working with WordArt 911
- Point to the word Fourth. When the pointer changes to a four-headed arrow, drag
the WordArt object up toward the top of the page until the top margin changes
from a light blue and white dotted line to a light blue and dark blue dotted line
that spans the entire page.
This indicates that the top of the WordArt object is aligned with the top margin
of the page.

Until you release the mouse button, the WordArt object stays in its original location and a
shaded version represents the object in its new location.- Release the mouse button to move the object to the top of the page.
- Point to the lower-left sizing handle of the WordArt object. When the pointer changes
to a diagonal double-headed arrow, drag the sizing handle to the left, until the dotted
line representing the left edge of the object is aligned with the left page margin.
Tip The pointer position is always shown on the horizontal and vertical rulers. When
dragging an object’s sizing handle, you can use the pointer position to align the sizing
handle with the ruler units. - Drag the lower-right sizing handle down and to the right, until the WordArt object
spans the full width of the page and is about two inches high.
It’s not necessary to set the height exactly; we’ll use another method to do so.
Tip To create a WordArt object consisting of existing text, select the text, click the
WordArt style you want, and then click OK in the Edit WordArt Text dialog box.
Publisher then creates a WordArt object separate from the original text.
