Go to Insert ►Drawing.

The Drawing window will appear and one of the buttons you will find in here is the
Textbox.

By clicking on the Textbox button, your cursor will change into a cross-shaped and
all you have to do is to draw a box in the working area. Now, you can already type
any text. To modify the text, click on the More button. Once you’re done, click on
the Save & Close for you to go back to the default working space of your document.

You can enhance the textbox by changing the shape, line color,
line weight, line dash, and fill color of the border. These are found
on the formatting toolbar.

The default shape when you create a textbox is rectangle but


the good news is you are not limited to this shape. The outline of
your textbox could be anything.

To do this, simply click on the Shapes button and it will present
four categories: Shapes, Arrows, Callouts, and Equation. In each
