How do I type text into the text box?

Anonymous

I am trying to add text boxes to a calendar to show activity for an entire week. I can add the text box, but I cannot add text. I am use to using this in powerpoint.

The link provided by Mukherjee isn't working for me, so here's another (showing text boxes that are incorporated within SmartArt):

It should be basically the same in Word as in PowerPoint. You either click into the box where the text goes, or right-click on the border of the box and choose Edit Text or Add Text from the pop-up menu.

How have you created the Calendar, are you using a calendar template in Word 2008?

Provide more information on how you have created the calendar, and what exactly you want.

Refer to the following article to know more on text boxes:
