How to Insert Auto

1. Open Word, which automatically defaults a blank, white 8.5-inch by 11-inch page on the screen.
2. Click the “Insert” menu at the top of the screen. Click the “Text Box” button in the middle of the toolbar at the top of the screen. Select the text box type, such as a basic box with just a frame around it or a shaded sidebar box. As soon as you click the type of box, one is added to the page.
3. Click the text box’s frame and drag it into place on the document. Click the placeholder text, which becomes highlighted, and type directly over it with your own.
4. Click once on the box’s frame to highlight it, right-click the selected frame, click “Copy,” right-click again and select “Paste” to paste additional copies of the text box on the page.
5. Click the “Insert” tab again and click the “Shapes” button. The “Shapes” menu opens with a selection of shapes such as triangles, circles, boxes and arrows.
6. Click a shape, press and hold down your left mouse button, click the Word document and drag your cursor to form the shape. The shape opens with the default colors or the ones last used in a shape document.
7. Scroll through the colored boxes in the “Shape Styles” menu on the toolbar. Click any colored box to instantly change the shape’s color.
8. Click the “Insert” tab and click the “Shapes” button to add additional shapes to the document.
9. Click the “File” tab, click “Save As,” give the document a name and save it to your computer.
