What is how to add a text box in google docs?

Here's how you can add a text box in Google Docs:

Unfortunately, Google Docs doesn't have a dedicated "text box" feature like you might find in Microsoft Word or other desktop publishing programs. However, you can achieve a similar effect using the drawing canvas:

1. Insert a Drawing: Go to Insert > Drawing > New. This opens the drawing canvas.
2. Add a Shape: In the drawing canvas, select the Shape tool (usually a circle/square icon). Choose a rectangle or any other shape you want for your text box.
3. Draw the Shape: Click and drag on the canvas to draw your shape.
4. Add Text: Double-click inside the shape you just drew. A cursor will appear, allowing you to type your text.
5. Customize (Optional): You can customize the shape's border color, fill color, and font using the tools at the top of the drawing canvas. You can also adjust the size and position of the text within the shape.
6. Save and Close: Once you're done editing, click Save and Close. This will insert the drawing (your "text box") into your Google Doc.

Important Considerations:

• Positioning: The drawing object behaves like an image. You can change how it's positioned relative to the text around it using the image options (inline, wrap text, break text). To access these options, click on the inserted drawing. Look for options related to "Wrap Text".
• Editing: To edit the text or appearance of the "text box", double-click the drawing. This will reopen the drawing canvas.
• Alternatives: For simple text highlighting, consider using the "Highlight Tool" or inserting a table with borders removed (for a box-like effect).
• Limitations: Because it's a drawing object, text flow within the box is limited compared to a true text box feature. Consider the "Text Flow" options available to you in the drawing editor, although these are basic.
