thank you so much. i had figured out that much..i mean i was at the
whole
format text screen. but anytime i put a number into the depth...it
wouldnt
do
anything. i thought i was doin sumthin rong...but it works now...weird.
lol.
but thanx again!
:
Sure, you can add depth. Here are the steps.
Insert | Word Art. Select the first style option (Fill - Text 2,
Outline -
Background 2. I think you can use any, but at least this will ensure
we're
on the same page.)
Type 3-D Text Sample.
With the text selected, on the Drawing Tools Format tab, in the
WordArt
Styles chunk, click Text Effects | 3-D Rotation | Perspective Relaxed.
Then click the dialog launcher in the WordArt Styles chunk. (It's a
small
little square in the lower right corner of the WordArt Styles chunk on
the
Ribbon.) This launches the Format Text Effects dialog box.
Alternatively,
select the text inside the textbox, then right-click and choose Format
Text
Effects. This also launches the Format Text Effects dialog box.
Click on 3-D Format on the left side of the dialog box.
Click the arrows in the Depth section to increase the depth. Or just
type
in
a number. 15 or 20 or so will show you a nice depth so you can see
what's
going on.
You can also change the depth color, the countour thickness and color,
and
the bevel settings and surface "material" and lighting here.
Click 3-D Rotation on the left of the dialog box, and you will have
more
control over the rotation. Also, if you click "keep text flat" here,
it
will
remove any depth you added as described above.
In addition, you can apply these effects to regular text -- you don't
have
to actually use WordArt. You can also skip applying a 3-D text effect
to
begin. Instead, just type some text in a textbox, go to the Drawing
Tools
Format tab, and click the WordArt Styles dialog launcher. You can even
start
by choosing a style there -- or add your own text fill and/or outline
to
begin. Then, in the Format Text Effects dialog box, apply the 3-D
settings
you want. I just usually find it easier to start with one of the
presets
so
I have at least a little something to work with.
Holler back if you need more info.
