Set the color to black, Transparency to 60%, Size to 102%, Blur to 15 points, Angle to 45degrees, and Distance to 12 points. Experiment with the other picture effects and picture borders.
Add a space under title. From the Insert tab, select Text, Text Box and type “Profile edited by” and add your name. Now, click and hold the circle at the lower right and resize the box to fit the text. You will need to position the text box using the Top and Bottom option from the Layout Tab on the right.

Select the name Paul Nielsen and add a Text Effect from the Font options on the Home tab. Experiment with the text fill and text outline options at the right. Play with the other text effects options. Highlight the heading titled “Early Life” and apply another text effect. Highlight this text and use the Format Painter brush to apply this text effect to the remaining paragraph headings.
Add a few spaces after Paul Nielsen’s name and insert a Shape from the Insert tab. Size the shape to fit in the header. Place the shape with Layout Options, With Text Wrapping- In Front of Text. Type a word in the shape and size it to fill the shape. For example, “Sea Life”. Rotate the shape slightly. Now, right click the shape and select Fill from the pop-up menu, Gradient, More Gradients, Gradient Fill and play with the options and sliders.
Add your name to the last line. Then, add a space and go the Insert tab and select Smart Art icon, Vertical Box List. Add three items related to ocean ecology and resize the word art to fit nicely.
