Sorry if this is a dumb question, I haven't used MSWord in years and I'm just not having any luck figuring where it is, or if it's even still there as a tool to use.. Can anyone point me in the right direction, or at least know a good alternative that I can use similar to the WordArt tool?

    Logically.blonde, thank you for the screenshots.

    Yes, it seems that you are using the Microsoft 365 for the web (Free) version. To create or edit a 'WordArt' you need the Office desktop applications.

    You can only view the WordArt files online if you have already edited on the desktop apps. However, it is not available in the web versions.

    Hello Logically.blonde! I'm Gunasekar and I'd be happy to help you with your question.

    WordArt is still available in Microsoft Word. It has been moved from Home tab to Insert tab. To use the WordArt tool,

    1.Go to Insert > WordArt.

    2.Pick the style of WordArt you want.

    3.Type your text.

    Note: To convert existing text to WordArt, select the text, and then select Insert > WordArt.

    Hmm, well thank you for replying back so quickly. I wonder if it's because I'm using it through the browser or something then.

    Mine looks different, and it's not showing under my Insert tab.
