Removing Word Art Styles From Text In PowerPoint and MS Word

Removing Word Art Styles From Text In PowerPoint and MS Word



Since 2007 MS PowerPoint has improved the Word Art Styles (under Drawing Tools) that give you a lot more choices that can quickly be applied to text.  You also get to "try on"each look by simply placing your cursor over the particular color scheme that catches you eye. It then will show you the look as you go from color to color.  In this way, you don't have to apply anything until you find what you want.


It is not quickly apparent how to remove the attribute altogether if you decide you want the Word Art Style to be taken off that piece of text.  


This can save you a lot of valuable time if you need to have it removed.


To remove the Word Art Attribute 


1.   Highlight the text that has the Word Art you wish to remove.

2.  Go to your Home Tab.

3.   In your Font area (to the right of "Decrease Font" and to the left of your "Bullets" button) look for a double Aa with a small Eraser.

4.   That is your "Clear Formatting" button.  Click it and that will remove the effect.

5.   In MS Word as well as PowerPoint you can also highlight the text that you wish to remove the Word Art from and use Control Space Bar to remove the Word Art as well.  Control Space Bar will remove surface text attributes (direct formatting) and will also strip off Character Styles but Control Spacebar will not affect Styles in any way.


Every little bit of knowledge will help at one point or another.

   MS Word Legal:  The Strategy Session Volume 2 Getting Ready and Structure First:  Clearing up those Issues From The Very Start That Tend To Hold Us Back… Authored by Louis Ellman  Clearing up the very thing that confuses most new MS Word users that is of course  Page Numbering and Section Breaks!   I wrote this book only a few years ago but it holds up fine and our students use these methods every day! We teach for the public, top-tier legal firms, outsource legal staff, large corporations and we consistently see one thing that they all have in common: They do not have a routine that they use before they ever start editing a document.  Also, they do not have a routine that they use to properly segment, page number and title all items relating to structure.  This is across the board.  This book goes over these routines piece by piece and this is the same vital and unique info that we personally share with our students including ma...
