Fill refers to the interior of a WordArt or character.

Notes:

When you change options in this dialog box, the changes are immediately applied to your WordArt or text, making it easy to see the effects of the changes in your WordArt or text without closing the dialog box. However, since the changes are instantly applied, it is not possible to click Cancel in this dialog box. To remove changes, you must click Undo on the Quick Access Toolbar for each change that you want to remove.
You can simultaneously undo multiple changes that you made to one dialog box option, as long as you did not make changes to another dialog box option in between.
You may want to move the dialog box so that you can see both the WordArt and the dialog box at the same time.

No fill
To make a WordArt transparent or colorless, or to remove fill from a WordArt, click this option.

Solid fill
To add color and transparency to a WordArt, click this option.

Gradient fill
To add a gradient fill to a WordArt, click this option.

Picture or texture fill
To use a picture as fill for a WordArt or to add texture to a WordArt, click this option.

Solid fill

Color
To choose a color for the shape, click Color , and then click the color that you want. To change to a color that is not in the theme colors, click More Colors, and then either click the color that you want on the Standard tab, or mix your own color on the Custom tab. Custom colors and colors on the Standard tab are not updated if you later change the document theme.

Transparency
To specify how much you can see through a WordArt, move the Transparency slider, or enter a number in the box next to the slider. You can vary the percentage of transparency from 0 (fully opaque, the default setting) to 100% (fully transparent).

Gradient fill

Preset colors
To choose a built-in gradient fill, click Preset colors , and then click the option that you want.

Type
To specify the direction to use when drawing the gradient fill, select an option from the list. The Type that you select determines the available Direction.

Direction
To choose a different progression of color and shades, click Direction, and then click the option that you want. The Directions that are available depend on the gradient Type that you choose.

Angle
To specify the angle that the gradient fill is rotated within the WordArt, enter the degree value that you want. This option is available only when you select Linear as the Type.

Gradient stops

Gradient stops consist of a position, a color, and a transparency value. The transparency value applies to the gradient stop, not to the overall fill. Gradient stops are used to create non-linear gradients. For example, if you want to create a gradient that goes from red to green to blue, you need to add three gradient stops — one for each color. Or, if you want to create a gradient that shows up only in the corner of a WordArt, you need to use gradient stops to make the gradient non-linear.

Stop list
The gradient fill is made up of several gradient stops, but you can change only one gradient stop at a time. When you click the gradient stop that you want to edit in the list, the position, color, and transparency options reflect the current settings for that gradient stop.

Add
To add a gradient stop, click Add, and then set the Stop position, Color, and Transparency that you want.

Remove
To delete a gradient stop, click the Stop number in the list that you want to delete, and then click Remove.

Stop position
To set the location for the color and transparency change in the gradient fill, move the Stop position slider or enter a number in the box next to the slider.

Color
To choose the color used for the gradient stop, click Color , and then click the color that you want. To change to a color that is not in the theme colors, click More Colors, and then either click the color that you want on the Standard tab, or mix your own color on the Custom tab. Custom colors and colors on the Standard tab are not updated if you later change the document theme.

Transparency
To specify how much you can see through the WordArt at the specified Stop position, move the Transparency slider or enter a number in the box next to the slider. You can vary the percentage of transparency from 0 (fully opaque, the default setting) to 100% (fully transparent).

Picture or texture fill

Texture
To choose a built-in texture, click this button, and then click the option that you want.

Insert from

File

To include ClipArt that is available on Office Online in your search, select the Include content from Office Online check box, click Go, and then click the clip to insert it.

Tile picture as texture
A picture fill can either be stretched to fit across the selected WordArt or tiled (repeated horizontally and vertically) to fill the WordArt. To use multiple copies of the same picture as a texture for the WordArt, select this check box.

Stretch Options

Offsets

Offsets determine how much to scale a picture to fit a WordArt relative to the left, right, top, and bottom of the WordArt. Positive numbers move the picture edge toward the center of the WordArt, and negative numbers move the picture edge away from the WordArt.

Introduction

By the end of this lesson, you should be able to:

Edit objects

Introduction to Word graphics

Now that you are comfortable adding and formatting text, headers and footers, columns, and tables, let’s learn to enhance your documents by adding objects and pictures.

The Drawing toolbar offers many options for including lines, lines with arrows, and many types of shapes into your document.

Drawing objects include:

AutoShapes: Lines, curves, and text boxes
WordArt drawing objects

Drawing objects

Please Note:
This article is written for users of the following Microsoft Word versions: 97, 2000, 2002, and 2003. If you are using a later version (Word 2007 or later), this tip may not work for you. For a version of this tip written specifically for later versions of Word, click here: Understanding WordArt.

Written by Allen Wyatt (last updated May 14, 2021)
This tip applies to Word 97, 2000, 2002, and 2003

WordArt is a program that allows you to treat text as a graphic. You can use the program to add special effects and flourishes to text, and then insert the text in your document. It is useful for creating special text elements such as logos, mastheads, or titles. Exactly how you access WordArt depends on the version of Word you are using.

Word 97 includes WordArt 2.0, although it is not automatically installed when you install Word. You can tell if WordArt is installed by trying to access WordArt. If it is not installed, then you can run the Word Setup program again and install WordArt on your system.

You access WordArt using either of these methods in Word 97:

Double-click on a graphic originally created with WordArt.
Choose Object from the Insert menu. You will see the Object dialog box. Choose Microsoft WordArt 2.0 from the Object Type list and click on OK. You will see the WordArt dialog box.

When WordArt if running, you see the WordArt dialog box, and most of your Word 97 menus and toolbars are hidden. It is a good idea to periodically update your Word document from within WordArt. This is done by clicking on the Apply button in the WordArt dialog box. When you do this, your changes will be updated in both the WordArt preview area and in your Word document. When you are through using WordArt, you can exit the program simply by using the mouse to click somewhere else in your Word document. (You can also press Esc to exit WordArt.)

Word 2000, 2002, and 2003 use a more integrated approach to WordArt. In these versions of Word you should follow these steps:

Make sure the Drawing toolbar is displayed.
On the Drawing toolbar click on the Insert WordArt tool. You then see the WordArt Gallery. (See Figure 1.)

Figure 1. The WordArt Gallery.

Select a general appearance that you want used for your text, and then click on OK. You then see the Edit WordArt Text dialog box. (See Figure 2.)

Figure 2. The Edit WordArt Text dialog box.

Enter the text you want used by WordArt, and click on OK.

At this point, the WordArt graphic is created and added to your document. You should also see the WordArt toolbar, which includes commands specific to working with WordArt objects. To hide the toolbar, simply click a different place in your document so that the WordArt object isn’t selected.
