Use Click and Type to insert text and graphics

  1. Switch to print layout view or Web layout view.
  2. In the document, move the pointer to a blank area where you want to insert text, graphics, or a table. Then, click to enable the Click and Type pointer.

    The pointer shape indicates how the item will be formatted. For example, if you point to the center of the page, the pointer shape I-beam pointer above centered lines of text indicates that the item will be centered.

  3. Double-click, and then start typing text or insert an item as usual.

Notes

  • If you don't see the Click and Type pointer shapes, the Click and Type feature may not be turned on. To turn it on, click Options on the Tools menu, click the Edit tab, select the Enable click and type check box, and then click OK.

  • If you don't want to insert an item where you double-clicked, just double-click in another area. If you've already inserted an item, you can undo the insertion.
