Remarks

Note

The Shapes.AddTextEffect method in Excel and Word creates a WordArt item, and returns a Shape object that represents the new WordArt item. But, Project does not support directly creating a WordArt item.

Instead of using the AddTextEffect method to add WordArt, you can use AddTextbox, and then format the selected text box with WordArt styles.
