Microsoft Excel Tutorial: How to Create Eye-Catching Titles in Excel Using WordArt | Excel Tips and Tricks.

Welcome back to another episode of the MrExcel netcast! In today's video, we're going to learn a quick and easy trick for creating eye-catching titles in Excel using WordArt. This feature, found in the Drawing toolbar, is perfect for adding some visual interest to your reports or presentations.

To get started, simply choose one of the styles from the WordArt gallery and click OK. You can then enter your desired text, and even add multiple lines by hitting the return key. Once you click OK again, you'll have a default WordArt that you can customize to your liking.

One of the great things about WordArt is the ability to change the shape of your text. You can choose from a variety of options such as Wave 1, Wave 2, and many more. Additionally, you can also change the colors of your WordArt to match your own personal style. Instead of using the pre-set colors, you can choose your own fill effects and gradients to create a unique and eye-catching title.

Before we wrap up, I wanted to let you know that this video was recorded on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving in the United States. As we celebrate this holiday and take a long weekend off, I invite you to stop by mrexcel.com on Friday morning for some special deals on our books.
