A text box is simply a shape that can hold text. Once you draw the shape,
right click and select Add Text
This is added text
ShapesThese shapes are
completely resizable. Just drag the handles. But be careful. Dragging a corner handle will not keep the shape's proportions! Hold down the SHIFT key while you drag a corner handle to keep a shape's proportions.
The “green dot” at the top of the image allows you to rotate that image.

then the Drawing Tools Format ribbon is displayed

Drawing - OrderSometimes you need to
change the stacking order. That is to change which shape is on top of another shape
To change the order you use the Bring to Front and Send to Back drop downs.
Drawing - GroupingGrouping is a way to lock items
together You should group objects that
should stay to together. That way you won't accidentally mess up the arrangement you worked so hard to get just right. It’s also much easier to move objects that are grouped together.
Select the items you want together Home tab, Edit Group, Select, Select
Objects
Click Group | Group.To ungroup simply select the
graphics and do Group | Ungroup.
Drawing – WordArt
WordArt can help you create attractive logos and fancy text to really catch the reader's eye. This program is accessed from the Text group on Insert tab in the Word ribbon.
Note: Your WordArt text is not regular text. It can be edited only with WordArt. Spell check won't see it as any more than it would a picture of a tree. So be careful with your spelling when you create WordArt!
Drawing – WordArtWhen you use WordArt, you are actually
creating a drawing object. Like imported images and drawing objects, a WordArt object has handles that you drag to resize. In fact you can use all the Drawing tools on your WordArt.
