Add WordArt Title with a Pattern Fill

You will now add a WordArt title to your poster that appear at the top of your page that will display "IB learners strive to be........."

With the Insert tab selected on the ribbon click WordArt to display the options available. Choose a style and click OK to insert it on your page. Don't worry about the color at this point because you will change that shortly by filling it with a pattern fill.

Once you have inserted the WordArt you will drag the size handles to fill the top of the page. You will notice that my fill of the text does not look like yours because I have formatted it with a pattern fill. You will create the pattern fill next.

To apply a pattern fill to your text click on the text to select it (you can tell it has been selected if blue boxes appear around it) then right click to bring up a menu. From the menu select Format WordArt. This will open the WordArt dialog box.

At the Format WordArt dialog box

With the Pattern tab selected you will see the options available. Below shows the colors and pattern I selected. You can use different colors and pattern as long as it matches the border you have applied to the page.

Click OK to apply the pattern to your WordArt.

Now you will add a stroke to your WordArt. At the Format WordArt dialog box with the Colors and Lines tab selected choose black for the line color and the line weight to 2:
