Default Turn shapes into text boxes


Hi, I would like to use word 2022 to make a script writing story board. If I could turn oval shapes and others into text boxes, I could do this. I would also like to colour the background og the dhapes and change the colour of the text. Possible?

Ta Desmond.

If you click in a shape and start typing, text will be added inside the shape.

Ok so far but the text is double spaced. Can this be changed?

By default, the text in the shapes is formatted in the Normal style. You can manually apply a different style, such as No Spacing, to the text in each shape, or you can modify the Normal style.

By the way, even though it is now 2024, the last year-labeled version of Word or Office is 2021.
