That did it ... thank you very much! I never would have thought to just
change the font to make the copy and paste work.
Muchos Gracias!

with no problem. ON the Excel worksheet I can edit the text but not the text
shape.
Try it with another font typeface and another font colour

But the Word Art available in Excel is not the same as in Word. I prefer
the
Word version. So I created the graphic in Word and tried to copy it to
Excel
and can't.
My question is Why?
Thanks,
Kelly

On Ribbon open Insert tab; look for Text group at far right; there is the
Word Art tool: a slanted A (mine is blue) with the caption "Word Art"
and a
launch button
The default background is transparent so you can make 'watermarks'

I am using Microsoft Office 2007 Student Home. When I create a Word Art
object in Word (because the Word Art is not really available in Excel),
copy
and try to paste it in Excel, all I get is an empty box.
Help, please!
