I wanted to make a faithful recreation of the original WordArt so I went through the various screenshots I could find and tweaked the built-in styles by eye. It's pretty fun to play with, and I didn't realise it would take me back to sitting in the ICT computer rooms at my school in the late '90s.
Enjoy!
And please feel free to share anything you make with me — I'd love to see. (Contact details in the help menu.)
Brought back many memories. There were also some fonts that added 'shimmer' and 'sparkle' text. You didn't run up a Win98 VM and install the old Word? Great job at making it all by screenshots and eye.
I never thought of that, actually. Perhaps I should as I don't remember shimmer or sparkle. I'll see if I can find some examples (if you happen to know of any I can reference please send them over).

Wonderful.

I had some fun adding WordArt support to Slack's Word document renderer.
Turns out that WordArt is still feasible in modern-day Word, but it's really fiddly.
Do you have any notes/write-up on that? I'd love to read.
I've always been fond of the red blue gradient one which I imagine to be an Arizona desert.
