Save style of a text box MS Word 2007 or 2010

Question

I've applied border, background and shadow styles etc to a text box and would like to save this so I can use it for later use. I cannot find how to do this.

Answer 1

Create your text box, while the text box is selected, select the "insert" menu. click on the arrow below insert "text box" button. select "save to text box gallery". A box will come up, select your choices (i didn't change anything) and thats it.

When you want to insert your saved text box into a document, select the "insert" menu Click "Text box" Scroll down, you will find it at the very bottom.

I think, that the way to do it, is that you create a template, and copy that textbox there. Then when creating document based to that template, your textbox with all its styles is available for use.
