  3. Tap Text Box.
  4. A default rectangular text box appears in the worksheet.

Success Criteria

  • Interface result: a visible rectangular text box appears in the worksheet.
  • Next action available: you can enter text, move the box, or resize it.

Tips While Using

  • Common mistake: if the file is not in editing mode, you may only be able to view the object instead of editing it.

  1. Double-tap inside the text box to activate text input.
  2. Type the text content.

Success Criteria

  • Next action available: you can continue editing the text, move the box, or change its style.
