Move the text block to a new location
- [Instructor] Shape text usually appears in the center of a shape, but it can appear in other locations. For example, if you create a network diagram and add text to one of the shapes, the text will appear below the shape because that's how the network shapes were designed. It's easy to change the location of the text block for your shapes. To try it, use the rectangle tool to create a new shape, add some text to it, then go to the Home tab and in the Tools group, select the Text Block tool. Now when you work with the shape, the selection rectangle you see is for the text block and not the underlying shape. You can resize it, move it, change the font color, do anything you'd like. When you're finished, select the pointer tool. Now when you move the shape, you'll see that the text block remains in the new location, relative to the shape.
