I just spent the past 45 minutes trying to insert text inside a text box in a Word document. I finally went online and watched Erin Wright's video and it was SO HELPFUL! I was about to give up but your video saved the day for me! Thank you SO much, Erin! You're the best!
Thank you for watching! If you select the text box, the handles on the border can be used to adjust the shape. You can also select Edit Shape in the Shape Format tab. To link them together, select Create Link in the Shape Format tab. Your cursor will change to a "pitcher" and you can then select the second text box. Good luck with your project!
I am in word but i literally have none of the tabs you are talking about, no text box option besides drawing, no text wrapping option, and i cant even move my text box around the page it only changes sizes
I am sorry to hear that you are having issues working with text boxes. Which version of Word are you using? As mention in the introduction, these steps are for Word for Microsoft 365, Word 2021, Word 2019, Word 2016, and Word 2013.
Thank you for watching! Can you share which version of Word you are using? I am using the newest versions of Word for Microsoft 365 on both PC and Mac and still have the text box option.
@erinwrightwriting I believe I'm using the newest version 😅 Maybe mine was glitched and maybe wasn't showing up? It just wasn't appearing for me at all lol
@@Cyberglitch64 Glitches do happen! The ribbon can also be customized, so perhaps someone removed it? I have another tutorial about customizing the ribbon (toolbar) that you may find helpful: th-cam.com/video/CnbKBnG6LHs/w-d-xo.html.
All the steps shown here are listed with images on my website at erinwrightwriting.com/text-boxes-in-microsoft-word/.

How do you utilize the red box? Is there a video demonstration available?
Thank you so much for watching! Are you referring to the red boxes used to indicate location in the tutorial or a red box in Microsoft Word itself?
