Spell Check WordArt (Publisher)

Works with Microsoft Publisher 2000 and 2003


Publisher is a Microsoft desktop publishing software program used to create flyers, brochures, business cards and other marketing materials. I stumbled on Publisher in my local office supply store several years ago, and have not regretted the money invested in purchasing this program.

Microsoft Publisher comes with a feature called WordArt, which is also available in Microsoft Word. WordArt allows you to make special effects for text -- it ssentially turns text into a graphic. The WordArt gallery is shown below.



WordArt is often used to create headlines in flyers, brochures, etc.

• Publisher automatically creates a WordArt tem out of the selected text.
• Complete the process by editing the style of your WordArt object to fit your requirements.
