Create and position text boxes as floating elements in a document.

1. Creating a Text Box 

text_box = Uniword::TextBox.new(
  width: 200,
  height: 100,
  position: { x: 100, y: 100 }
)

para = Uniword::Paragraph.new
para.add_text("Text inside box")
text_box.add_element(para)

doc.add_element(text_box)

The width and height are in points. The position coordinates (x, y) place the text box relative to the page origin.

2. Text Box Positioning

Position values control where the text box anchor appears on the page:

  • x — Horizontal offset from the left edge (in points)

  • y — Vertical offset from the top edge (in points)

Text boxes are implemented as DrawingML shapes with a txBody content area that can contain paragraphs, runs, and other inline elements.
