WordArt not updated in Office 2007?

[Donna Smith]

I'm just wondering if anybody knows why it is that Excel and Powerpoint have fantastic new updated Word Art galleries with some very professional looking presets, but in Word 2007, the WordArt is still exactly the same as it has been since at least Word '97.

Any ideas why Microsoft "forgot" to update Word's WordArt but updated the other Office applications?

I even tried creating a WordArt in Excel to get the new features and pasting it into Word but it lost "the look".
