Enhance your Word Art
You can use various tools to enhance your Word Art. We will explain some of the tools in the following paragraphs:
- Going from left to right, you will find Undo and Redo buttons. Undo (Ctrl +Z) is used to rectify the errors and Redo (Ctrl + Y) is used to cancel the undo.
- Next, you will see the Paint Format option. You can use this option to copy the formatting from some other text to this current one.
- The Zoom option allows you to set guides or go to full-screen mode. Here, you can increase the size by 200%.
- In the Line option, you can opt for various options such as Line, Arrow, Elbow and Curve Connector, and Scribble, among others.
- Insert shapes in your text by clicking on Shape. You can insert shapes, arrows, call outs and even various mathematical symbols like brackets.
- Click on the Text box and then drag your mouse to make space for entering texts.
- A picture is worth a thousand words. In Google Docs, you can insert pictures either from your computer, URL, or Google Drive. Select the Image option and then select the location of the pictures.
- You have entered a text and now you want to fill it with colours. You can click on Fill colours and then select the colour of your choice.
- Use the Border colour option for colouring the borders of your texts. Make sure that the border colours are different from the colours that you have filled inside the text.
- After you have selected the border colour, next choose the border thickness by clicking on Border weight.
- You can re-design the borders and make them dotted, regular or a mixture of both from the Border dash option.
You can notice from the screenshot that I tried various options and designed the text. Although it does not look much appealing, you can create masterpieces of your own.
