This week I\u2019m going to introduce you to Word Text Boxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Similarly to <a href=\"\/staging\/shapes-in-microsoft-word\/\">Word Shapes<\/a>, text boxes are extremely useful for formatting documents for the following reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>They draw attention to text<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They allow you to move the text around<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They allow you to format the text in new ways<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the end of this post, you\u2019ll be able to quickly create and insert text boxes into your document, and then format them. Let\u2019s get going!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, we need to locate where to insert text boxes. Click on \u201cInsert\u201d and you\u2019ll be able to find the button pretty easily. Here\u2019s what it looks like in Word 2013 when you hover over the icon with your mouse:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"853\" src=\"https:\/\/translationexcellence.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/19-300x250-300x250-1-1024x853.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40132\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.2004233267644697;width:278px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/translationexcellence.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/19-300x250-300x250-1-1024x853.webp 1024w, https:\/\/translationexcellence.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/19-300x250-300x250-1-300x250.webp 300w, https:\/\/translationexcellence.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/19-300x250-300x250-1-768x640.webp 768w, https:\/\/translationexcellence.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/19-300x250-300x250-1.webp 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you click on \u201cText Box\u201d you\u2019ll immediately notice that there are quite a few built-in text box templates (and you can even find more online or build your own). Figure out what will work best for this particular project and click on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"652\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/translationexcellence.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/21-191x300-191x300-1-652x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40133\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.6367132066834515;width:249px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/translationexcellence.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/21-191x300-191x300-1-652x1024.webp 652w, https:\/\/translationexcellence.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/21-191x300-191x300-1-191x300.webp 191w, https:\/\/translationexcellence.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/21-191x300-191x300-1.webp 688w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 652px) 100vw, 652px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I chose the standard \u201cSimple Text Box.\u201d While it really is simple, I\u2019ve found that it satisfies most of the daily uses that I have for text boxes. Here\u2019s what the template looks like once it\u2019s inserted:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"591\" src=\"https:\/\/translationexcellence.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/31-300x173-300x173-1-1024x591.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40134\" style=\"width:263px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/translationexcellence.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/31-300x173-300x173-1-1024x591.webp 1024w, https:\/\/translationexcellence.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/31-300x173-300x173-1-300x173.webp 300w, https:\/\/translationexcellence.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/31-300x173-300x173-1-768x443.webp 768w, https:\/\/translationexcellence.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/31-300x173-300x173-1.webp 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"273\" src=\"https:\/\/translationexcellence.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/41-300x80-300x80-1-1024x273.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40135\" style=\"width:281px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/translationexcellence.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/41-300x80-300x80-1-1024x273.webp 1024w, https:\/\/translationexcellence.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/41-300x80-300x80-1-300x80.webp 300w, https:\/\/translationexcellence.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/41-300x80-300x80-1-768x205.webp 768w, https:\/\/translationexcellence.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/41-300x80-300x80-1.webp 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then, just add the text. Here I\u2019ll be recreating a stamp that reads \u201cBlah Blah Blah.\u201d<br>\nNow I\u2019ll center the text in the text box and resize the text box to make it look a little bit better (Check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/translationexcellence.com\/staging\/microsoft-word-shortcuts-basics-2\/\">first tip of the week<\/a> for text alignment and other shortcut keys!). To resize the text box, click on one of the little squares on the box\u2019s border and drag it to fit your specifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"404\" src=\"https:\/\/translationexcellence.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/51-1-1024x404.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40136\" style=\"width:253px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/translationexcellence.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/51-1-1024x404.webp 1024w, https:\/\/translationexcellence.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/51-1-300x118.webp 300w, https:\/\/translationexcellence.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/51-1-768x303.webp 768w, https:\/\/translationexcellence.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/51-1.webp 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now you can select a wrapping option under \u201cLayout.\u201d Here I\u2019ll be using \u201cBehind Text,\u201d which will allow me to move the text box anywhere on the page. You can try out the different text wrapping options to see what will work best for your translation or other project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"482\" src=\"https:\/\/translationexcellence.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/61-300x141-300x141-1-1024x482.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40137\" style=\"width:351px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/translationexcellence.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/61-300x141-300x141-1-1024x482.webp 1024w, https:\/\/translationexcellence.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/61-300x141-300x141-1-300x141.webp 300w, https:\/\/translationexcellence.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/61-300x141-300x141-1-768x361.webp 768w, https:\/\/translationexcellence.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/61-300x141-300x141-1.webp 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">See?

Hint: Click on the text box and then go to the \u201cFormat\u201d section of the top menu bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, what if you\u2019re translating a birth certificate that has a vertical or diagonal stamp, or even if the stamp is horizontal but upside down on the original? Well, Word has you covered. Simply go to \u201cFormat\u201d and then click on \u201cText Direction\u201d to change the direction of the text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/translationexcellence.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/81-300x169-300x169-1-1024x576.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40139\" style=\"width:313px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/translationexcellence.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/81-300x169-300x169-1-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/translationexcellence.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/81-300x169-300x169-1-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/translationexcellence.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/81-300x169-300x169-1-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/translationexcellence.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/81-300x169-300x169-1.webp 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is the text box rotated 270\u00b0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/translationexcellence.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/91-1-400x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40140\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.3906309605554284;width:89px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/translationexcellence.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/91-1-400x1024.webp 400w, https:\/\/translationexcellence.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/91-1-117x300.webp 117w, https:\/\/translationexcellence.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/91-1.webp 422w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As with most other features in Word, there is more than one way to rotate a text box. Do you see the little arrow above the text box in the above screenshot? If you click on that, you can actually drag the text box around with much more precision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bonus Tip: Hold down \u201cShift\u201d while rotating the text box to constrain the rotation to increments of 15\u00b0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overall, text boxes are treated like shapes and much of the editing that can be done is the same as with shapes. The main benefit of using text boxes instead of shapes lies in the templates that are provided by Word, however it usually is a little faster to create text boxes. So, if all you need is a square stamp, text boxes are the way to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Have you used text boxes for any of your translations or other projects? If not, will you start using them now? Let us know in the comments below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello and welcome back to our tip of the week series!
