WordArt has used TrueType fonts since Word 6.0, but only TrueType (no
PostScript). Where the real crunch came, though, was in Word 97 (IIRC), when
WordArt became part of Word's drawing tools (rather than a separate applet).
At that point, as JoAnn says, it became virtually impossible to make WordArt
replicate "ordinary" text.

I think Word 95 or 97 was the last release that had a limited set of
fonts for WordArt. All the recent releases will use any installed
TrueType font. There's a font selection dropdown in the Edit WordArt
Text dialog.

All Windows programs, yes, but why not Word Art? Any way to add fonts to
that?

FWIW, fonts available in Word will be available in all Windows
programs.

Hi JoAnn

I've never heard of Picture It! but I've managed to do what I need
using
Suzanne's tip which has allowed me to use the font that I need. The
problem
about using other software is that the font may not be available.

Thank you for the suggestion.

I've yet to see a computer that didn't have some sort of a graphics
program. Don't you have Picture It! or something like that?
