How To Insert A Text Box In Google Docs Or Microsoft Word – SlashGear

Since Microsoft Word has had the text box feature for so long, it’s managed to effectively streamline the creation process. It just takes a couple of clicks to make a fresh text box.

1. Open a document in Microsoft Word.

2. Switch to the Insert tab on the top taskbar.

3. Click the Text Box button in the toolbar.

4. Select one of the premade text box styles from the list to add it to the document at the cursor’s current position.

5. Alternatively, click Draw Text Box to manually draw a rectangle anywhere in the document.

Once you’ve created your text box, just click on its inside to start writing in it. While you’re writing in the box, a Format tab will appear in the top taskbar, which you can use to customize the box’s text (font, character size, etc.) independently of the regular document’s text. You can also click and hold on the border of the text box to move it elsewhere in the document, as well as on its corners to resize it. When you don’t want to edit the text box’s contents anymore, just click outside of it to put the cursor back in the document.
