Word 2007 – How to insert a text box around existing text
Most people will agree that when they need a text box, they will first insert a text box and then type their text into the box. Unfortunately, this method involves a lot of re-sizing of the text box to view the text. Try this method instead to save a lot of formatting.
Type the text in Word as you normally would. (You can move the text to any desired location once the text box has been created).
1. Select (highlight) the text.
2. Click the Insert tab.
3. In the Text group, click Text Box.
4. Click Draw Text Box.
