I'm trying to make one large 'outline' word with smaller words inside. Hope I'm making sense to you. Thank you for any help you can give.

Not easy, but it can be done. You'll need to first create the "smaller-word" object as a picture and save it in a graphics format (more on that later). Then you'll need to use it as "fill" for your large WordArt word. It's probably a good idea to create the large word first and get it just the way you want it. When you have done so, use the Format WordArt button on the WordArt toolbar to open the Format WordArt dialog. On the Size tab, make a note of the size of the WordArt object; that's the size your "fill" picture will need to be. In another document, create your "fill" as another WordArt object. Tweak it until it's just the same size as the first one. Save the document as a Web page, and the WordArt object will be saved out as a separate graphic (see http://www.**--****.com/ ). Word should save the object as a GIF but will ore likely save it as JPEG. You may want to rename this and copy it to My Pictures or another picture folder. Returning to your original big word, open the Format WordArt dialog again. On the Colors and Lines tab, click the arrow beside Color under Fill and choose Fill Effects... Select the Picture tab, then browse to find your picture and insert it as fill. -- Suzanne S.

Create your big word first using the very first WordArt option. Set text wrapping to 'Behind text' Create your little words using the third WordArt option and set text wrapping to 'In front of text. Bend the little words to fit inside the big word See http://www.**--****.com/
Thank you so much. I just realized that if I used word art to type my large word I could set it to 'behind text' then as long as my text was the same color as my background it would only show up in my large word. Thank you all so very much for the help and quick response.

I just purchased a new computer with Word 2002 and I'm having trouble with the word art & clip art. Everytime I insert it and then scroll up or down on the page, it disappears. I've never had this trouble with Word 2000, is there some kind of a glitch in the program?
