Resizing Text Box

Resizing Text Box


Text boxes, regardless of what they contain, can be easily sized in Word. To change the size of an existing text box, follow these steps:

STEP 1 - Click once on the information within the text box. A box appears for the object (this is designated by eight squares, or handles, around the perimeter).
STEP 2 - Use the mouse to point to one of the handles. The pointer will change to a double-headed arrow. Click on the left mouse button.
STEP 3 - Drag the handle to resize the text box.
STEP 4 - Release the mouse button when the text box is the size you want. The information it contains is reformatted to fit within the newly resized text box.
