About text boxes

In Microsoft Publisher, you not only type text, you also position it on a page. You do this by creating a text box, typing your text into the box, and then, if necessary, moving or resizing the box.

If your text won't fit within the box, Publisher can automatically fit the text by reducing the font size. To continue text elsewhere in the publication, you can also connect one box to another.

Text in connected text boxes flows from one box to the next. You can add notices that guide your reader to the next section. A chain of connected boxes is called a story.
