  • Then, using your mouse, make a box on the space below. This will determine the size of your box. 
  • Once done, you can write, copy and/or paste what you want, allowing you to indent and hyperlink. (You have to paste in hyperlinks, unfortunately). 
  • Hit Save and Close located at the top right of the Insert Drawing window. Doing so will place the text box in your sheet. 
  • If you want to edit your text box, you need only double click it.
