WordArt 1.0: Using Button-Style Text

The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft WordArt version 1.0

SUMMARY

The Button Style of WordArt text was ideally designed to be used with three lines of text. The first line will arch up, the second line will be printed horizontally in the center, and the third line will arch down. If four or more lines are typed, they will be ignored when the button style is chosen.

If you use only a single line of text, that text will appear three times.

If you use two lines of text, the first line will arch up, and the second line will be duplicated; one copy will appear in the center, and the other will arch down.
