WordArt is a text-styling feature that is available in the Microsoft Office suite of products. It allows users to create stylized text with various "special effects" such as textures, outlines, and many other manipulations that are not available through the standard font formatting. For example, one can create shadows, rotate, "bend" and "stretch" the shape of the text. It is also available in Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint and Microsoft Publisher. WordArt is available in 30 different types on Microsoft Word.
Similar capabilities exist in other programs. Apple's iWork, StarOffice/OpenOffice.org have an equivalent feature in more recent versions, and The GIMP's Script-Fu is somewhat similar (although often used for different purposes). OpenOffice.org's version is called FontWork.
