If you need more than words...
Level Updated - 14th Mar 2007
Fine article as usual, Mary Ann. I enjoyed this quick tour of the powerful WordArt feature. If you need more than artistically rendered words, what is another good design tool for logos?

If you use MS Publisher, you can use the WordArt functionality in the same way as in Word. Then you can add a graphic--or two or ten--to that, change the size, spacing, etc., until it looks how you want, and then save everything as a single picture (in a wide range of formats). This picture can then be inserted back into Word (or whatever app you want to use it in). For printing, TIF is the best choice, and you can save it in a resolution up to commercial quality.

I do this all the time, and I'm not artistic. I discovered all of this by just messing around in Publisher.

Why Publisher?

Why Publisher? Can you not insert graphics into Word, change their size, spacing, etc. and then group those graphics with the Word Art object?
