1. Open Image Composer. Click Insert from the menu, (pictured on the left below). When the menu drops down, click on Word Art.

The Enter Your Text Here box appears below. Enter Stubby's Gator Farm for this example as shown, and then click Update Display. The words Stubby's Gator Farm will be displayed where the words Your Text Here originally appeared.

3. Click the drop down arrow of text appearance alternatives and then click Deflate (Bottom) pictured below. Try using other alternatives with different fonts to get desired effects on your own Word Art. It takes some practice and inventiveness as well.

4. Click the arrow on the font style drop down box and choose Kaufmann Bd BT from the list, (see the diagram below). If you don't have the Kaufmann Bd BT font installed, then choose another font choice. Try a bold font, it will work best for this example.

5. Click the font size drop down box and choose font size 32. Then click anywhere in the Image Composer work area. The Word Art screen disappears and the Stubby's Gator Farm sprite appears in the work area.

6. Below is a copy of the Word Art sprite you just created. You will notice the sprite picture below is a little larger than than the 32 font size. It has been stretched to 400X117 pixels.

7. Use the arrows located in the middle and sides of the sprite to stretch it to 400 Width X 117 Height. On the bottom right hand corner of the Image Composer screen you will see some numbers listed. The letters and numbers immediately to the left of the cursor arrow, (W:400, H:117). Notice how those numbers change as the sprite is resized.

Tip: You can also insert a ding bat image as Word Art and then manipulate it as preferred.
