Add text to a shape

Do one of the following:

Add text that moves with the shape

• Select any AutoShape and start typing.

  New text is added to the end of any existing text.

Note   You cannot add text to a line, connector, or freeform this way; use a text box to place text near or on these drawing objects.

Add text that is independent of the shape

1. On the Drawing toolbar, click Text Box .
2. Do one of the following:
   • To add text that stays on one line (doesn't wrap), click near or on the AutoShape where you want to add the text, and start typing.

   • To add text that wraps, drag to create a box the size you want, and then start typing.

Note   The text box will not move when you move the shape.
