Skip several more lines. -
Create an identical piece of WordArt (to be seen from any person standing in back of you). Do not rotate this WordArt however.- Try to equalize the amount of space in the middle of your document with just empty space.

Fold your document down the middle. -
Open the document up, and fold both of the sides of the document to the middle fold. -
Turn the document over. -
Pick up the document, by pinching the middle fold. -
