How to Create Text Boxes in Word 2007

1. Launch Microsoft Word 2007. If you have an existing document into which you want to insert a text box, double-click the document file to open it in Word.
2. Click the 'Insert' tab at the top of the window.
3. Click the 'Text Box' icon in the 'Text' section of the ribbon at the top of the window. This will expand a drop-down menu of text box choices.
4. Click the 'Draw Text Box' option at the bottom of the drop-down menu.
5. Click and hold on the point in your document where you want to place the text box, and then drag your mouse to adjust the size of the text box. Note that your text box is drawn over the document, so it will cover any existing text in the document.
6. Type the text that you want to include in the text box. You can then click on any of the blue squares or circles surrounding the text box to change the position of the text box or adjust its size.
