Word 2010

I purchased a full version of Office Professional 2010 for nearly nothing through my company. Is there a way to have the wordart shapes show up in Word 2010?

Late answer. Sorry.
You can save your document in Word 2003 (.doc) format and access the legacy WordArt dropdown. In addition, you can create your WordArt in such a document and copy and paste it into a .docx formatted document.

Alternatively, you can have access to these choices including the vertical layout through a custom AutoText gallery in Word 2010 .docx formatted documents. Here is a link to an Add-In that gives the following on the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT). Legacy WordArt Add-In for 2010-2013



This Add-In is macro-free and was developed using tools written by Greg Maxey and Jay Freedman (although they are not responsible for any problems there may be with it).

Charles, thanks for the info and reply albeit a little late. I've moved to a MacBook Pro and am now sporting Office for Mac 2011 (which rocks!).

Thanks again,
