Question

How many tabs appear when you select the text box?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Text boxes are containers for text that can be customized and moved around. They are useful for emphasizing or decorating text.

There are three text boxes displayed each with different formatting. Each has a few sentences written.

Some examples of text boxes.

To add a textbox, go to Insert>Text>Text Box. There are a few pre-created Built-in options to choose from. Click one of the Built-ins to add it to the document. You can also draw your own by choosing Draw Text Box, then clicking and dragging where you want the text box to be.

A blank Microsoft Word document is open. There are three green text boxes show. The first one is in the ribbon menu under the tab "Text". The second box surrounds a menu called "Text Box" which has opened up as a result of clicking the "Text" tab which surrounds the first box. The third box surrounds "Draw Text Box" which is from the dropdown menu of "Text Box".

A blank Microsoft Word document is open. In the middle of the document a medium size text box has been drawn.

Drawing a text box

Once created, you can type in the text box, change the size of the text box, move the text box around, and even rotate the text box.

A zoom in of a text box in Microsoft Word is shown. There are 4 green numbers representing four different things. 1.) Is on the left side of the text box and stands for anchor point. 2.) On the top of the text box in the middle representing the rotation control. 3.) On the upper right side of the text box and it stands for wrap point. 4.) Is found in the bottom right corner of the text box and it represents the resize points.

Anchor point. The anchor is the point at which the text box intertwines with the rest of the document. Click the anchor icon to select the entire text box.

Rotation control. Click the circular arrow and then drag to rotate the text box.

Wrap text. This controls how content in the rest of the document interacts with the text box. Text can go around the text box, in front of the text box, or skip over the text box. Text wrap is covered in more detail in the Images section.
