AT the start of the Star Wars films there’s a long title crawl where the text gets in a pyramid shape. How can I make some text look like that? It doesn’t have to move, I just want the pyramid shape and it needs to have multiple lines.
I have Word 2003 and Corel WordPerfect 11 available, but I don’t see anything there to do it in. Is there a free program I can use for this?
MS Publisher has a thing built in, called MS WordArt, which does that shape, as well as several others. In Photoshop, or something similar, look for an option called “perspective” or something like that. Free? I don’t know. But if you don’t have publisher, it’s likely that a friend of yours does. Ask around.
You can also use Word’s WordArt function (format it into the Fade Up shape and then justify the text). But it’s hard to get it to look decent. WordArt sucks, especially when you’re trying to resize something.
