| msoTextEffectShapeTriangleDown | Text slants up, then down. | |
| msoTextEffectShapeChevronUp | Text slants down to its center point and then slants up. | |
| msoTextEffectShapeChevronDown | Text slants up to its center point and then slants down. | |
| msoTextEffectShapeRingInside | Text appears to be written on the inside of a 3-D ring. | |
| msoTextEffectShapeRingOutside | Text appears to be written on the outside of a 3-D ring. | |
| msoTextEffectShapeArchUpCurve | Text is an arch that curves up. | |
| msoTextEffectShapeArchDownCurve | Text is an arch that curves down. | |
| msoTextEffectShapeCircleCurve | Text follows a circle, reading clockwise. | |
| msoTextEffectShapeButtonCurve | Text is curved around a center "button." | |
| msoTextEffectShapeArchUpPour | Text is a 3-D arch that curves up. | |
| msoTextEffectShapeArchDownPour | Text is a 3-D arch that curves down. | |
| msoTextEffectShapeCirclePour | Text has a 3-D effect and follows a circle, reading clockwise. | |
| msoTextEffectShapeButtonPour | Text is seen in 3-D, curved around a center "button." | |
| msoTextEffectShapeCurveUp | Text curves down and to the right as font size increases. | |
| msoTextEffectShapeCurveDown | Text curves down and to the right as font size decreases. | |
| msoTextEffectShapeCanUp | Text is stretched to fill the height of the shape, with only a slight curve up. | |
| msoTextEffectShapeCanDown | Text is stretched to fill the height of the shape, with only a slight curve down. | |
| msoTextEffectShapeWave1 | Text follows a wave up, then down and up again. | |
| msoTextEffectShapeWave2 | Text follows a wave down, then up and down again. | |
| msoTextEffectShapeDoubleWave1 | Text follows a line that curves up, then down, then up and down again. | |
| msoTextEffectShapeDoubleWave2 | Text follows a line that curves down, then up, then down and up again. | |
| msoTextEffectShapeInflate | Font size of text increases to its center point, then decreases. Center point of each letter is on the same straight line. | |
| msoTextEffectShapeDeflate | Font size decreases to the text's midpoint, then increases to the starting size. | |
| msoTextEffectShapeInflateBottom | Font size of text increases to its center point, then decreases. Center point of each letter follows an arch that curves downward. | |
| msoTextEffectShapeDeflateBottom | Font size decreases to the text's midpoint, then increases to the starting size, while keeping the top of the text along the same curve. | |
| msoTextEffectShapeInflateTop | Font size of text increases to its center point, then decreases. Center point of each letter follows an arch that curves upward. | |
| msoTextEffectShapeDeflateTop | Font size decreases to the text's midpoint, then increases to the starting size, while keeping the bottom of the text along the same curve. | |
| msoTextEffectShapeDeflateInflate | Font size increases to the text's midpoint, then decreases to the starting size. | |
| msoTextEffectShapeDeflateInflateDeflate | Font size decreases, increases, and decreases again across the text. | |
| msoTextEffectShapeFadeRight | Right side of text appears to be closer to the viewer than left side. | |
| msoTextEffectShapeFadeLeft | Left side of text appears to be closer to the viewer than right side. | |
| msoTextEffectShapeFadeUp | Bottom of text appears to be closer to the viewer than top. | |
| msoTextEffectShapeFadeDown | Top of the text appears to be closer to the viewer than bottom of the text. | |
| msoTextEffectShapeSlantUp | Text slants up and to the right. | |
| msoTextEffectShapeSlantDown | Text slants down and to the right. | |
| msoTextEffectShapeCascadeUp | Text slants down and to the right as font size increases. | |
