Switch over to the “Insert” tab on Word’s Ribbon, and then click the “Text Box” button. You can also draw your own text box if you already have a size and placement in mind. We’ve got a full guide on working with pictures, shapes, and graphics in Microsoft Word if you’re interested in learning more about that. You can also change how (and if) regular document text wraps around your text box-just like you can with any other shape or object. And to move it somewhere else in your document, just position your cursor on the edge of the box until you see a four-headed arrow, and then you can drag it wherever you want. The rotate handle at the top of the box (the circular arrow) lets you rotate the box. You can drag any of the handles at the four corners or sides to to resize the box.
After inserting one, it’s easy to resize it or move it to another location. The predefined text boxes also contain preselected layout options, including their size and placement on a page.
