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.

Select "Format Text Box."

Go to the Layout tab.
