Step 4. Continue to finish the other textboxes. You can see the below example.

Tip: If you just need two text boxes in this rank, you can select a text box and press Backspace key to delete it. On the other hand, you also can add a new text box by selecting a text box and right click > Add shape to add a new text box. See screenshot:

  • Add Shape After: Add a shape on the right of the selected box and is at the same rank of the selected box.
  • Add Shape Before: Add a shape on the left of the selected box and is at the same rank of the selected box.
  • Add Shape Above: Add a shape above the selected box and is at the higher rank of the selected box.
  • Add Shape Below: Add a shape below the selected box and is at the lower rank of the selected box.
  • Add Assistant: Add a shape below the selected box and is working as an administrative secretary for the selected box title.
