Question: In Word 2011 for Mac, how do I center text in a document? Answer: Select the text that you'd like to center. Then select the Home tab in the toolbar at the top of the screen. Then click on the Center button in the Paragraph group. Now when you view your document, the text should be centered.

Set up Dictation

Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences, click Keyboard, then click Dictation. Turn on Dictation and choose from these Dictation options:

• Tutorial for formatting a manuscript for APA style rules using Word 2011 for Mac. Subtitles available: click on the CC button toward the bottom right of the video.
• Mar 05, 2009  To center something vertically: 1. Click on the page. In the Page Layout tab on the Ribbon, click on the arrow in the lower right corner of the Page Setup group. Click the Layout tab. In the Page section, in the Vertical Alignment list box, select Center. Hope that helps.

• Choose whether to use Enhanced Dictation, which lets you use dictation when you're not connected to the Internet.
• Choose your language and dialect. Some languages, such as English, have multiple dialects.
• Choose the keyboard shortcut you will use to start start dictating.
• Choose your preferred microphone from the pop-up menu below the microphone icon.
  

In macOS Sierra, you can ask Siri to “turn on Dictation” for you. Siri isn't the same as Dictation, but you can ask Siri to compose short messages, such as email and text messages.

Use Dictation

1. Go to a document or other text field and place the insertion point where you want your dictated text to appear.
   
2. Press the keyboard shortcut for starting dictation, or choose Edit > Start Dictation. The default shortcut is Fn Fn (press the Fn key twice).
   When your Mac is listening, it displays a microphone to the left or right of the page, aligned with the insertion point. If you turn on advanced dictation commands, the microphone appears in the lower-right corner of your screen, and you can drag it to another position. When your Mac can hear you, the input meter inside the microphone rises and falls as you speak.
   
3. Speak the words that you want your Mac to type. Dictation learns the characteristics of your voice and adapts to your accent, so the more you use it, the better it understands you. If it doesn't understand you, learn what to do.
4. To stop dictating, click Done below the microphone icon, press Fn once, or switch to another window.

About Enhanced Dictation

Enhanced Dictation is available in OS X Mavericks v10.9 or later. With Enhanced Dictation:

• You can dictate continuously.
• You can dictate without being connected to the Internet.
• Your words might convert to text more quickly.
• You can use dictation commands to tell your Mac what to do.

Without Enhanced Dictation, your spoken words and certain other data are sent to Apple to be converted into text and help your Mac understand what you mean. As a result, your Mac must be connected to the Internet, your words might not convert to text as quickly, and you can speak for no more than 40 seconds at a time (30 seconds in OS X Yosemite or earlier).

If you're on a business or school network that uses a proxy server, Dictation might not be able to connect to the Internet. Have your network administrator refer to the list of network ports used by Apple software products.

When you type text in Microsoft Word, you have options for making it look a particular way on the page (such as changing the page margins), but those options are somewhat limited. Text boxes expand your formatting repertoire, offering additional control and flexibility for how your text appears. You can place a text box anywhere within a document and format it with different colors and fonts. This feature is especially helpful for creating a blockquote or a sidebar. Here's everything you need to know about creating and customizing text boxes in Word.

This article applies to Word 2019, Word 2016, Word 2013, and Word for Office 365.

Insert a Text Box in Word

Start by opening the document you want to add a text box to. Then follow the steps below.

1. On the ribbon, select Insert.

2. In the Text group, select Text Box. Choose a text box template.

3. The new text box appears in the middle of your text, and the Shape Format tab is automatically selected.

4. Click and drag the box to the position you want. To resize the text box, click and drag the circles around the edge. To resize, click and drag the circular arrow at the top of the box.
