Moving a Microsoft Word Art Object
You can move your WordArt object to anywhere on your document, just choose your spot!
 |
Q: Why can't
I drag my WordArt object to anywhere on the document page At default, the WordArt object are treated as a character in Word. You need to change the Text Wrapping of the Word Art object to have it as a separate object on your document page. |
To change a Microsoft Word Art object's Text Wrapping, follow these steps:
| 1. | Click on the Microsoft Word Art object once. When you see the 8 selection-handles, you'll know it's selected. The WordArt toolbar also appears on your document. |
||||
| 2. | On the WordArt toolbar, click the
Text Wrapping button (a black dog with lines
through it). Choose
any of the options given. NOTE: The option "In line with Text" is the one that makes the WordArt object a character in the document. |
||||
|
|||||
| 3. | Once you've chosen another Text Wrapping option (I use "In
Front of Text" most of the time), you'll see
your resize-handles changes to white squares. Also added is a green circle at the top-center for Rotation, and a yellow triangle at the right-center for Reshaping. You can click-and-drag these to see what they do! |

| To move the Microsoft Word Art object to anywhere on the document, just
place your mouse-pointer on the object. The mouse pointer gets a double-headed arrow cross added to it. Click-and-drag to move the Microsoft Word Art object. |
