Word Art font size problem, Publisher 2007

I am trying to create a document in Publisher 2007. When I pick a font size
(18 point, Frutiger Linotype) and the text I am typing in is 3 lines long, I
get the height of the text looking one way. But when I create a new Word Art
box and type in a single line of text, the text height is very high compared
to the old. Same font, same font size chosen, same boldface and italic.

Ok. I just tried something. I took the single line of text, opened the Word
Art and added three more lines. Now I get a very squished version of what I
had before. What is going on here? How do I get consistently sized text
regardless of the number of lines I put in? These Word Art boxes are going
to be the "chapter" headings for what I am doing, and they need to look the
same.

Also, there seems to be no way in Pub 2007 to change the character spacing
in Word Art, so I copied the box over to Word 2007 and changed it there. Am I
missing something? By the same token, there seems to be no way to change the
heaviness of a line in Word.

Finally, is there a way to create the same look without using Word Art? I am
simply trying to do the look of the very first Word Art choice, the one at
the top left corner.

Thank you for your help.

If you right-click the WordArt, click Format WordArt, Size tab, you can control
the size to make each chapter heading consistent. If you change the font the
WordArt size will remain the same. You can change the line weight in this
dialogue. Some fonts or most fonts with hanging letters such as y or g will skew
the WordArt if you use several lines of type.

Hi. This is actually what I had originally done, and it doesn't work. If I
originally had 3 lines of text and now have just 1 line, it makes the text
huge in size.

I suggest you do one line at a time. You can copy/paste. Or do what John
suggested with ordinary text.
