Text box title on top border effect
What would be the most efficient and easiest way in Microsoft Word 2013 to achieve this effect:
I would have more than one of these text boxes in my document, each with different titles and text. |

You will need two text boxes.
The red lined box will contain the 'text here' content and have the text box margin at the top set a little larger to get the first paragraph to sit lower. The 'Core Capabilities' text box will have a white fill and needs to be positioned manually. You will probably find that putting both into a drawing canvas will reduce the likelihood of relative positioning issues.

If you use the draw textbox function to create the two text boxes, the drawing canvas should not be necessary, however for ease of re-insertion, remove the text, select the two inserted boxes press ALT+F3 and save as an autotext entry in either the document template or the normal template.

Gosh – that's the :lblbox element from IBM BookMaster, alive and well decades later :-} Interesting to read this Word workaround.

Once you have the positioning down, consider "grouping" the two text boxes. You may have to ungroup to resize, though.

This is quite an old thread now, but I recently wanted to achieve this same effect. I used a table (3 rows and 5 columns), some merged cells, and then coloured the borders. I also found it helpful to fix the width of columns 2 and 4.
