Struggling to add a text box in Google Docs? Don't sweat it! It's simpler than you think, and it can dramatically improve your document's layout and design. While Google Docs doesn't have a dedicated "text box" button, there's a clever workaround using the drawing tool.
Here's how to do it:
1. **Insert Drawing:** Go to 'Insert' > 'Drawing' > '+ New'.
2. **Choose the Shape:** Select the 'Shapes' icon, then choose a rectangle or any shape you'd like to use as your text box.
3. **Draw Your Box:** Click and drag within the drawing canvas to create your shape.
4. **Add Text:** Double-click inside the shape to add your text. Format the text as needed using the available font and style options.
5. **Save and Close:** Click 'Save and Close' to insert the drawing (your text box!) into your document.
Now you have a fully functional text box that you can move, resize, and customize within your Google Doc! Use it for callouts, sidebars, or to highlight important information. Happy documenting!
