Note
In addition to the normal text boxes where text is horizontally
aligned, it is possible to insert text boxes where the text is
aligned vertically. This choice is available only when Asian
languages are enabled in Tools > Options > Language
Settings > Languages.
Click on the button in the drawing toolbar to create a
vertical text box. Note that when editing the contents, the text is
displayed horizontally.
Moving a text box
In Normal view, notice how the pointer changes from an arrow to an I-
beam as you move it over the text in a text box.
1) Click when the pointer becomes an I-beam. The text box is now in
edit mode, with a gray border and green resizing handles.
2) Move the I-beam (or pointer) over the gray border. Notice how it
changes shape, becoming a four-headed arrow (or a similar shape
depending on the operating system and user’s settings).
