By the way, here’s how it’s created in !

Of course, today MS Office Word- the most popular editor for creating texts. However, Word still remains office application. All available default fonts are designed for documents. However, Microsoft developers did not leave users of their product in the lurch - with the help of MS Office Word you can really create beautiful text. But for this you need to use not fonts, but special component – WordArt.

WordArt is a special tool that converts the entered text into a picture. You can change the background of this picture, volume, position on the screen. In general, with the help of WordArt you will be able to create truly beautiful inscription in a couple of minutes.

To begin, in the MS Office Word menu, select Insert and then the component WordArt(Fig. 1).

You will be asked to select the layout of the future text (Fig. 2).

Select the option you like, after which a window for writing text will appear (Fig. 3).

In it you can set the font, size, boldness or italics. Experiment and choose what you like best. Just enter text and click OK.

For example, we decided to make a postcard heading for a wall newspaper. The result is presented in Fig. 4.

The resulting WordArt layout is easy to modify. Click on the text image. Please note that a new item has appeared at the top of the MS Office Word menu Format. Select it (Fig. 5).

Here you can change the layout of the text image, fill, outline, position of letters, remove or add a shadow, change the volume - in general, select the right option registration For example, we decided to change the position of the text on the screen. To do this we select the item Change figure(Fig. 6).

If you need to create Microsoft Word not an accountable document, in accordance with certain rules, but, for example, to make a postcard or a warning notice, then in this article we will figure out how to beautifully format text in Word.

To do this, you just need to change the size of the letters and choose the appropriate font; you can use one of the ready-made WordArt styles, or you can independently choose the color, effect, etc. for the text so that it looks interesting on the sheet and attracts attention.

I took all the screenshots in Word 2010, but if you have Word 2007, 2013 or 2016 installed, then these recommendations will suit you.

How to make a beautiful inscription

Let's start by adding the required field to the document. Go to the Insert tab and select Caption - "Simple inscription".

A field like this will appear on the page. Delete what you typed in the example by pressing “Delete” on the keyboard and type what you need.

Then highlight the written words and go to the "Home" tab. Expand the drop-down list with fonts and select the one that suits you best.

Please note that some fonts only apply to words written in English. So look in the list for a font that is suitable for Russian words.

In the example, as you can see, the selected font is suitable only for English words.

To change the color of the letters, click on the small arrow next to the “Text Color” button and click on the one that suits you best. If the color you want is not listed, then click “Other colors”, or select a gradient fill.

The button will allow you to select one of the ready-made design options. You can also select the desired type of text yourself by clicking on the fields “Structure”, “Shadow”, “Reflection”, “Glow”, and selecting the one you need from the expanded list.

To remove the borders for the created block, right-click on it, context menu choose Shape Outline, then No Outline.

All the functions that we discussed above are applicable not only to what is printed in the block. They can also be used for things that you simply print on a sheet of paper.

Now let's figure out what else is used for beautiful design words printed in a block.

Select the block itself and go to the tab that appears "Drawing Tools"- “Format”, it is on it that there are all those buttons that we will consider further.

On this tab, the buttons in the “Shape Styles” group apply to the frame: fill, dotted frame and so on. In the “WordArt” group, all the buttons are used to change the test. Let's look at everything in order.

For the inscription block, you can use any ready-made style. To change the outline or fill color, expand the available options and select the ones you want.

Please note that if you have a little inscription peeking out of the drop-down lists, as in the example, then by hovering the cursor over any of the options, you will be able to see how everything will change.

If you want, click and choose the appropriate color yourself. Here you can choose a color that is not in the palette - "Other fill colors", or a pattern, gradient or texture as a fill.

For a block with an inscription, you can also change the “Shape Outline” - that is, the frame. Choose a color, thickness for it, or change the line to a dashed dotted line.

Now let's move on to words and see what we can do with it. As with the frame, one of the ready-made styles can also be used for text.

Button "Text Fill" will allow you to change the color of the letters.

To select a contour, click the corresponding button. Here you can not only choose the color, but also the thickness or change the strokes.

To make words look more impressive, use various animation options. Click on a similar button, then select what exactly you want to use, for example, “Reflection”. Next, from the drop-down list, decide on the appropriate option.

If you need the text to be of some unusual shape, then select "Convert". The list that opens will contain various curvature options.

How to write a beautiful text

It is not possible to create a single template that would be used for this. Because everyone has different tastes, and similar text is created for different purposes. So, experiment, click on the buttons that I described above, and see how the words change.

There are several articles on the site, during the writing of which an interesting type of text was obtained.

In the article on how to make an inscription in Word, the result was as follows.

If you need to make an inscription in a circle or semicircle in Word, then read the article by following the link.

You can read about how to insert text into a picture in Word in this article. The result was like this:

For every taste. To customize your text or print a beautiful leaflet, use original calligraphy or a graphic object. But the built-in capabilities of the program pale in comparison with the thousands of different styles that can be downloaded on the Internet. If you don't have enough of what you have in the office, find out how to install a font in Word.

For non-standard text design, use a graphic object

There are entire servers on which collections of free calligraphy are posted. There you can immediately see what the letters and numbers will look like. You will select printed signs to suit any need. Even handwriting imitation is available.

Before you add a font to Word, you need to find it on the Internet. Download files only from trusted sources. There are several trusted sites. For example, "Fontspace" or "Xfont". After downloading, the calligraphy can be installed in Word. If you want to view the entire range, do the following:

1. Open any search engine.
2. Enter the request “Download font for Word.” The first pages will contain the most popular services. You can set specific parameters: “Gothic letters”, “Figured symbols”, “Old Slavonic Cyrillic” and the like. There will always be some new style that no one uses.
3. Go to the site you like.
4. Don't download executable files with the extension .EXE - most likely it is a virus or other malware. Calligraphy for Word is in .TTF (True Type Font) or .OTF format, and style collections are stored in .ZIP or .RAR archives.
5. If you know what font you need, enter its name into the search bar along with the phrase “Download for Word.” This way you will find what you want faster.

The most popular services will be on the first pages of the search engine

It is better to take an archive with styles, rather than download one file at a time. You can add several types of printed characters and see in the program itself what suits you.

How to add a font in Word?

Once you've found calligraphy, you can figure out how to insert the font into Word.

1. Unpack the archive with styles if you downloaded them in compressed form. To do this you need to install an archiver. WinZip or WinRar will do. Right-click on the collection file and select “Extract” from the drop-down list. Now you can copy and move data that was stored in the archive. To see what the symbols look like, open one of the calligraphy files. And you don’t need to open Word to do this.
2. Go to Start - Control Panel. In the Appearance and Personalization section, click the Fonts icon. It opens the Character Styles folder in Word. You can also log into it via C:\Windows\Fonts. To better navigate the control panel, in the “View” menu (located on the right top corner) select the appropriate display settings.
3. Copy the downloaded calligraphy files to the “Fonts” folder (not the archive itself, but the data extracted from it). New look characters should appear in Office. Some of them may already be in the system. In this case, a dialog box will appear prompting you to replace the existing printed characters. Do not agree so as not to accidentally delete the “native” office styles.

Go to Start - Control Panel

If you can't add them this way, try another method.

1. Open the folder with the downloaded calligraphy.
2. Right-click on one of the files.
3. Click Install.

The styles will then appear accurately in Word.

How to add fonts to a Word file?

If you decide to work with text on a computer that does not have the calligraphy you are using, it will not appear. But you can add a style directly to the document.

1. Click the blue "File" button. In Office 2007, this menu is called up by clicking on the logo in the upper left part of the window.
2. Select “Options”, “Saving” section.
3. Check the box next to “Embed fonts in file.”

It is better to enable this option if you are using more than just system styles. You won't be able to install your calligraphy on someone else's PC.

Check the box next to “Embed into file”

How to find out the name of the font?

Do you like the look of the symbols, but don't know the name of this design? And how do you load fonts into Word if you can't find them? There is no need to browse websites hoping to accidentally stumble upon the desired symbols. The name is easy to recognize. For this there are special programs and even entire websites.
