The WordArt objects in these documents retain their classic properties and can be further edited or refined using the WordArt Tools Format contextual tab. Both Word 2003 and Word 2007 documents containing classic WordArt can be opened in either Word 2010 or Word 2013.
The available predefined text effects are the same in both Word versions. The difference is the user interface for inserting and formatting the object (a menu and toolbar for Word 2003, the ribbon and a contextual tab for Word 2007). WordArt objects in Word 2003 and Word 2007 are basically the same. Note: The actual appearance of the styles (text effects) in the Word 2010/2013 galleries will change depending on the theme colors applied in the document.
