9.1 Text Boxes
Text boxes let you position text anywhere on a document. They can have borders and
be filled with color, or have no borders and be transparent. They’re ideal for grouping
text and graphics. You can format text within the text box to whatever size and style
you choose.
Add a text box by clicking Insert on the Word toolbar, then click Text Box. A menu
appears displaying several text box templates. Click Draw Text Box at the bottom of
the menu , then draw a square on the blank page where you would like the text box
to appear.
A text box with eight small boxes (handlebars) along its border
appears at the location you clicked. You can begin entering text
immediately. The text box expands as you enter text.
NOTE: Right-clicking on a text box allows you to edit some of its properties.
9.1.1 CHANGING TEXT BOX SIZE
The “handlebars” let you change text box size. Click on a handlebar and drag it until
the text box is the desired size. Dragging a middle-top or middle-side handlebar
changes the width or height of the text box. Dragging a corner handlebar lets you
change width and height simultaneously.
