Insert a text box

A text box is text within a frame that can be easily moved within the document you are editing. You can use text boxes for a number of purposes, for example, to create captions for image elements or to add quotations from the main text to draw attention to them.

To insert a text box, do the following:

  1. Place the cursor where you want to insert the text box in the document.
  2. On the Insert tab, click t_insert_textbox** Text box**.
  3. Enter the desired text in the text box. Formatting of text in the text box is done in the same way as formatting of the main text of the document.
  4. To deselect a text box, click anywhere in the document outside the text box.
