Using MS Word's WordArt feature with Photobie!

You may know that MS Word allows you to create fancy flexible WordArt text. Here I just want to let you that. You can use this feature together with Photobie to create perfect fancy text. The process is simple:
First, create the WordArt text in Word, should be simple to you.
Second, use the screencapture tool in Photobie (either to use notification menu which located on system tray of right bottom on you screen, or to use the predefined the hotkey) to capture the selected rectangle that contains the text.
Third, paste to the image that you are editing, and set the transparent color to the white. Bingo!

Note, to get the perfect effect, you may need to adjust the layer transparent color tolerance in the lay manager property list.

Well, This is just a sample usage, you can definitely explore more usages with Photobie integrated Screen Capture feature.
