Add a caption

Using a text box, you can add a caption or label to images, tables, shapes, and other objects.

Add a caption

  1. Tap Insert button, tap Shape button, then tap Text.

    A text box with placeholder text appears on the page.

  2. Drag the text box to where you want it.

    If you can’t move the text box, tap outside the box to deselect the text, then tap the text once.

  3. Double-tap the placeholder text, then type the caption.

    If the text doesn’t fit, drag the selection handles on the text box. If you don’t see selection handles, tap outside the box, then tap the text once.

  4. Do any of the following:

    • Change the font or font size: Triple-tap the text to select the whole caption, then use the text controls in the shortcut bar above the keyboard.

    • Change the font, font size, text color, or paragraph style: Tap Format button, tap Style, tap the font size and name, then choose options.

    • Change the look of the text box: Tap Format button, tap Style, then tap one of the six text box styles. You can also tap Style Options and use the other controls to change the text box color, add a shadow, and make other adjustments.

  5. To group the caption with the object so they stay together, tap the object once, then hold your finger on the object while you tap the text box.

  6. Lift your fingers, then tap Group.
