Insert Word Art into PowerPoint 2013

What? No Word Art?
If you're a Word Art user from way back, it'll come as a shock to find that
the Insert Word Art feature is no longer available in PowerPoint 2013.
You can probably replicate any of the old Word Art effects by using the
WordArt Styles group on the Format tab that appears when you select the
text, but getting an exact match could be tricky. And certainly
time-consuming. And annoying.
What to do ...?
Customize: to the rescue!
It turns out that the old Word Art feature is still there, it's just well
hidden. You need to customize the ribbon to bring it back. Here's how:
• Right-click on the text of any of the ribbon tabs and chooseCustomize the
Ribbon from the pop-up menu. Don't bother trying to customize the Quick
Access Toolbar. For some reason, that won't work.
• In the dialog box that appears, next to Choose commands from:select All
Commands.
• Scroll down the list of commands to Word Art. It's almost at the bottom of
the list.
• On the right side of the dialog box, add a new group to whatever ribbon
tab you'd like the command to appear on. The Insert tab seems the most
logical place, but choose whatever makes sense to you.
• Make sure Word Art is still highlighted on the left then click Addto add
it to your new group.
• Click OK to close the dialog box. You now have a new Word Artbutton that
behaves pretty much like the one you're used to from previous versions of
PowerPoint.
