twice.

2. Hit ENTER multiple times to scroll the cursor down to the bottom of the page. This will make it easier later to position the cursor where you want it, because you can’t put the cursor somewhere “where it hasn’t gone before”!

You might need to adjust the size to widen the words so they are readable. Click on the word. Click on the Word Shape icon in the WordArt toolbar. Select any of the shapes to change the shape of your WordArt BMS words. The Word Shape icon is the “mis-shapen” blue A.
