Word Art

[jkapke]

I have been using Microsoft Publisher since the 1995 edition. I have had 4
subsequent versions. My most recent was included with MS Office Professional
2003. I have removed this version and reinstalled a previous one for 2
reasons:
1) The new 'Word Art' feature is like the one has been used in Word for
many years. It does not provide the user with the flexibilty of the older
versions.
2) The new Clip Art Organizer is inferior to the previous versions and
extremely laborious and time consuming to work with and I lack the patience
and time to organize something that was extremely wellçorganised and easy to
use in previous editions.
Is it possible to install these to functions in Publisher 2003 in order to
take adavantage of it's other qualities? I cannot see myself buying future
editions of Publisher.

You can install the WordArt compatibility utility
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...1b-a37d-4586-a1a7-54bbea375ae2&DisplayLang=en
To use it, insert, object, Microsoft WordArt 3.2.
The Gallery can be used as a standalone, if it is on your computer, drag the CAG icon
to the desktop, create a shortcut, you cannot insert from it but you can drag and
drop.
If you want to use the Gallery within your applications, insert, object, Microsoft
Clip Gallery.
There is also a add-in here:

In what ways is the new WordArt not as flexible as the old version, please?
