Double-Click To Edit WordArt Text
In Word 2003 (Sob, I miss it terribly, and am sorry I left it for this
floozy, Word 2007 - but then, I don't have an opinion on that).... Anyway, In Word 2003 you could access WordArt simply by double-clicking on the WordArt text. Unfortunately, that functionality seems to be gone. Any way of restoring this? |

Double-Click To Edit WordArt Text
When you click on WordArt, the ribbon changes. I actually like this better.
All of the tools are there, plus some new ones.

Double-Click To Edit WordArt Text
The Ribbon is a pain and a sham. I don't want to move all the way up to the
stupid Ribbon in order to access functionality that I used to have at the point of interface/work. I want to stay near my point of work and do things as quickly (and locally) as possible.

Hi Jim,
In Word 2007, if the WordArt item is selected you can Right click and choose 'Edit Text'. ================= "Jim J." wrote in message ... The Ribbon is a pain and a sham.

Double-Click To Edit WordArt Text
Like it or not Word 2007 is based around the ribbon interface. You could
right click the WordArt and select format WordArt, but is that any quicker than picking the tool from the ribbon? Edit Text is the first item on the ribbon and takes no more mouse clicks than double clicking the WordArt. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Jim J. wrote: The Ribbon is a pain and a sham.

Thanks, Bob, but I was already aware of that option. It's handier than
moving to the Ribbon, but still not as nice (or fast) as double-clicking.

The issue is speed. If I have to navigate from the middle, bottom, or
wherever on the screen - to the Ribbon - that means that I have to navigate back and forth. That takes time. That is muda (waste).

You've wasted more time than you will ever waste using this function

Brilliant response! Let's see: Dis the person who asked the question, and
everything will be magically better. Right?
