Word 2013 Word Art

[jung0815]

I used to make concert posters using Word 2000 and the WordArt feature. I wasnt able to find the 2000 Word Art styles to apply to a new poster I started creating...figured out that I can get the legacy styles by simply saving the document (poster) as a Word Document 1997-03 format. Now my problem is that I can insert WordArt boxes but the are always stuck up in the upper left hand corner of the page and I cannot seem to do anything to move them around the page by clicking and dragging like I used to be able to do in Word 2000. Any ideas? I very much appreciate any help! Ive attached an example of a finished poster.

You probably have an option set to insert images in-line with text. I think this became the default setting at some point in Word's evolution.

When you click on one of the legacy WordArt boxes, it should activate a Drawing Tools Format tab in the ribbon (right end of ribbon). Click on that tab. There is a Wrap Text button. Click on that and pick an option like "Tight" and you should be able to move your WordArt around. You can also choose to float it in front of or behind your text or one of the other options.

You are welcome. You should not be pulling your hair out over Word. That is what children are for!
