Working with Text Boxes
By definition,
a Text Box
is a Shape. A Text Box has specific formatting because it is
working with Text. Nevertheless, a Text Box is still a Shape, with or
without a bulleted list or a Title. Shapes have Outlines, Fill, and
Styles. Shapes are formatted with the Drawing Tools. This lesson begins
with the short stack of
Drawing Tools on the Home Ribbon. Then, we'll review the
Drawing
Ribbon and find a few more options.
