Old WordArt graphics in Word 2007 — big disappointment

[Jan Sichula]

Hello everyone,

let me express that I ma very disappointed to see old WordArt graphics in
Word 2007 Beta 2. How odd to have new WordArt engine in Excel and Powerpoint
while being stuck with old engine in Word. It just dos not make any sense to
me. I am a Word power user, preparing a lot of leaflets, documents and
brochures every week. I have also produced 3 full books in Word and 5 more
are in the works. Where other people are using InDesign and Quark, I had
stayed with Word, pushing it to it’s limits. I was so excited to learn about
new WordArt when the first details were published. I plea that Microsoft
would make a change before final release of Word 2007. The new WortArt engine
is by all means great and cool. Anyone willing to comment?

Best regards,

Hi Jan,

As mentioned in reply to the previous copy of this posting, it's unfortunate that Microsoft chose to leave Word as the only ribboned
app not to get the new 'Word'Art. Not even a new set of 'gallery' choices for WordArt styles.

Be sure to send your feedback directly to the MS Office 2007 product team using the 2007 feedback tool from the link below. Include
in your feedback how this would impact your ability to work in Word 2007 to get your tasks done.
