If you look at many nonfiction books, you'll see that quite often, there will be text boxes with some sentence or other from the main text in them. I tried to insert a text box and copied text into it. However, above the text is a huge amount of white space. No effort I make to drag the top margin of the box down helps this. All that gets is moving the whole box over the top of the text. I don't want anything flashy, just the usual one sees in such boxes: plain text. If I make the whole box smaller, part of the text disappears.



How do I make the box fit the text without a huge lump of white space the top? Thanks.
