WordArt Problem

I didn't completely read the last article that Mary had sent until
now. At the end of the article it explains the old WordArt was a
stand-alone program and the new one isn't. It goes on to say that
the new one can't convert all earlier WordArt objects with total
fidelity. I'm not sure what it means by "total fidelity" but that
sounds like I may be screwed.
==================================
I guess I don't understand why it's a problem
to insert a new text box if you are editing the
text anyway.

At least you have a way to correct the issue
if you choose to do so.

I just now created a publication in Publisher 95, opened it in 2007 and the
WordArt worked fine.

You can use the old WordArt by going to Insert, Object, scroll down to Microsoft
WordArt 3.2.

I am assuming John's explanation is correct.

Double clicking the text is the way I was able to edit WordArt before
my new computer.

According to that article, installing the add-in corrects a distortion
problem that I don't have. After installing the add-in the distortion
problem's gone but you can't edit WordArt and you get the error
message.

I'm getting the same error message and I can't edit text with or
without the add-in.
====================================
It sounds like your WordArt has been converted
to an image....IOW...there are no individual letters
to edit. Can you delete the old WordArt and just
insert a new WordArt text box?
