Wordart 3.0

[Bette]

In the past, I have had access to an old version of Wordart, namely Wordart
3.0. I don't remember where I got it but my installation of Office on a new
computer is missing it. Any ideas? Thanks.

It is the compatibility add-in for Publisher, it works with Word too. Insert,
object, scroll down to WordArt 3.2

As suggested, I downloaded and installed that add-in, however it does not
show up in the "insert object" list in Word or Publisher. In the Windows
add/remove program list there is an entry for it but no size associated with
the program. Do you think it installed correctly? The installation went
really fast. Thanks for your help.

In Publisher, tools, Add-ins, is the WordArt enabled?
Also, help, about Microsoft Office Publisher, disabled items, is WordArt
enabled?

Thanks once again for your help. I have never actually used Publisher but
presume if I can get this to work there, it will work in Word. In Publisher,
tools, add-ins, Wordart is not enabled. It is not in the disabled list
either. What is the name of the actual file for Wordart? Maybe I can verify
that my download and install was successful if I have a specific file to look
for. Thanks!

The file is named PbWrdArt.exe.

Hello again. Yes, I have that file. It is the one I downloaded from
Microsoft. I double click it, say "ok" to the agreement and it quickly does
something (hopefully an install but too quick to see). After that, is there
some sort of file that will be present so that I can tell if the install
worked or is it truly added in to Office?

All this because I like the old Wordart better than the new one. Thanks
again for your assistance.
