SUMMARY
The Shading command works differently on a text frame than on a WordArt frame. In a text frame, the Shading command will always control the color of the frame and has no effect on the color of the text. In a WordArt frame, the Shading command controls the formatting of the text. In addition, you can change the background shading of an entire WordArt frame just as you would a text frame by selecting the WordArt frame but not starting WordArt.



To change the shading of a text or object frame

 * 1) Select the object by single-clicking it.
 * 2) From the Format menu, choose Shading.
 * 3) Select a background color and a foreground color.
 * 4) Select a style from the Style box. The foreground color is applied as a pattern on the background color. Choose OK.

To change the shading of WordArt text

 * 1) Select the WordArt frame by double-clicking it.
 * 2) From the Format menu, choose Shading.
 * 3) Select a background color and a foreground color. The foreground and background colors now apply to the text, not to the frame.
 * 4) Choose OK.

To change the shading of the entire WordArt frame

 * 1) Select the WordArt frame by single-clicking it.
 * 2) From the Format menu, choose Shading.
 * 3) Select a background color and a foreground color.
 * 4) Select a style from the Style box, and then choose OK. The foreground color is applied as a pattern on the background color.
