Adding a Floating Text Box

When you add a text box as a oating text box, it’s anchored to a position on the page

so that body text on the page ows around it. You can move the oating text box by

selecting it and dragging it.

To create a oating text box:

1 Click Text Box in the toolbar.

A text box appears on the page.

In a word processing document, you can also create a oating text box by converting

an inline text box. Choose Insert > Text Box; an inline text box appears. Click the inline

text box to select it, and then click the Floating button in the format bar.

2 In the text box, double-click the highlighted placeholder text and type.

3 Drag the selection handles to resize the text box and reveal any hidden text. (Or you

can create linked text boxes so that the text ows continuously into another text box.)

To read about linked text boxes, see “Linking Floating Text Boxes” on page 106.

4 When you’ve nished typing, click outside the text box. Or, to stop editing text and

select the text box, press Command-Return.
