Text Boxes (again)

[Andy in Sig]

I'm familiar with normal text boxes which are of course box shaped but where do you find in Word the ovoids and circles in which to write text?

If you're using Word 2007 then it's:

Insert

Shapes

Click your choice

Click in document


If it's an earlier version I guess it would be on the file menu but I can't remember exactly where

view -> toolbars -> drawing will give them to you easily accessible via clicking on the resulting 'autoshapes' button (again 2003 here)

You've probably figured it out Andy but you just insert/ draw the shape you want then right click on it and select 'Add Text' its then a text box.
