Inserting WordArt
The WordArt gallery, opened by clicking the WordArt command button in the Text group of the Insert tab of the Ribbon, makes it a snap to add really artsy text to the worksheet. The only thing to keep in mind when adding WordArt is that, just as its name implies, this text is really a graphic (art) object that behaves just like any other Excel graphic object although it contains only text!
You can easily add this type of “graphic” text to your worksheet by following these steps:
1. Click the WordArt command button on the Insert tab of the Ribbon or press Alt+NW.
Excel displays the WordArt drop-down gallery, as shown in Figure 2-10.
2. Click the A thumbnail in the WordArt style you want to use in the WordArt drop-down gallery.
Excel inserts a selected text box containing Your Text Here in the center of the worksheet with this text in the WordArt style you selected in the gallery.
