Video Transcript:
Step 1. Open your document in Microsoft Word, and then click "Insert" in the ribbon at the top of the screen. The Insert tab opens.
Step 2. Click "Text Box" in the Text group toward the right side of the ribbon. A menu appears with a gallery of built-in text box styles.
Step 3. Click one of the built-in styles to drop a pre-formatted text box into your document, or click "Draw Text Box" near the bottom of the menu to create your own. If you chose "Draw Text Box," your cursor turns into a crosshair.
Step 4. Click and drag in your document to draw the text box at the size you want, and then release the mouse button. The text box appears with a blinking cursor inside it.
Step 5. Type or paste your text into the text box. To move it, hover over the border of the text box until your cursor turns into a four-headed arrow, and then click and drag it wherever you want it on the page.
Once your text box is selected, the Shape Format tab appears in the ribbon. From there you can change the fill color, or click "Shape Outline" and then "No Outline" to remove the border so your text blends right into the page. To control how the rest of your document flows around the text box, click the "Layout Options" icon next to its top right corner and choose a wrapping option like "Square" or "Tight."
If you need to get rid of a text box, click its border and press "Delete" on your keyboard. Just make sure you click the border and not the inside of the box, otherwise you'll only delete the text inside it.
