Add effects to text

When you want to add visual depth to your document, you have choices. You can insert WordArt, a series of preset text effects that stretch or bend text in interesting ways. Or you can apply text styles to text that you've already inserted, either standalone text or text in a text box.

Do any of the following:

Apply a text effect to existing text

Insert WordArt

Add a mirror image

Add a shadow

Add a glow
