Inserting A Sidebar

Solution:

Do you have text in your Word document that you want to really stand out? If so, why not use a sidebar? To create a sidebar, run Word 2000 and choose Insert/Text Box. The mouse pointer will change to a crosshairs. When it does, double-click the mouse button to insert your text box and open the Format Text Box dialog box. When the dialog box opens, click the Layout tab. Next click the text wrapping option that you want to use.
In most cases, you would want your document text to wrap around the text box, so click either 'Square' or 'Tight' and then click OK to close the dialog box and apply your selections.
Now, you are ready to add your sidebar text. Click in the text box and choose Format, Font. When the Font dialog box opens, select the font and font size you want to use for your sidebar and click OK to apply your new selections and close the dialog box. Now type in your text. You can use the mouse to size the sidebar and place it in your document.

To do this, click the text box border to select it. Now when you move the mouse pointer over the border, the pointer will turn to a double-arrow at the corners. When the pointer is a double arrow, you can drag to size the text box. When the pointer turns to a four-headed arrow, you can drag the text box to a new location.
