Text box

October 17, 2007 12:50 PM

How do I make the outside text flow around a text box in Microsoft Word? Right now the text box is sitting on top of the text it's supposed to accompany. I know this is a waste of a question, but I'm in a rush and need to do this today.

Right click on the text box and select "format text box". From there you can select the layout.

Right click on text box edge to bring up context menu.

Select "Format Text Box."

Go to the Layout tab.

Select In line, Square, or Tight, according to your preferences.

Select OK.
