Join Jess Stratton for an in-depth discussion in this video Formatting text and creating WordArt, part of PowerPoint for Mac 2016 Essential Training.
- It's time to start adding some…pizzazz to this presentation.…While it's starting to look great already,…we can make our text a bit flashier,…using something called WordArt…and using Styles to go along with it.…WordArt transforms text you already have…into something that looks like it was made…by a graphic artist or at least…a little bit more interesting than basic text.…Let's start by formatting this title slide.…I'm going to click and drag to select it.…And note a new ribbon tab has appeared…called Shape Format.…
I'm going to click on that, it's going to give me…some new things that I can do with this text.…I can work with the entire shape,…and I'll be showing you that in a later video,…but for now, I'm going to focus on these styles.…I can choose for some quick styles,…which is also called WordArt.…These are pre-formatted bits of text that…I can do to immediately change the selected text.…Or I can do it manually.…I can change the colors, I can even…change the outline color to something that…I think will be a little bit more pretty.…
