Lab 3 Word Art

In Lab 3 Word Art we used the basic word art settings. One of the first things I did was type my name and than started to change the styles of how the word appears as you can see from the image above. We also did some color, 3D effects, lighting, and even shadow effects. I also changed the spacing in the words and what I noticed is that everything inside the ancor points changes, it doesn't get bigger or smaller outside of it. There is also a bar that is labeled size in the ribbon the shows you the size of what you are changing while you are changing, so it pretty  much sows the size of it automatically as you are changing it .

To change the font size and font style you need to go to the ribbon and there will be a bar that says Font. After that we went to the bar that says paragraph and we change the sentences into bullets and numbers. In that same bar we also changes thte sentences into columns.
