Google Docs / Drawing

Question

I'm looking into creating a Google Docs "drawing" for the purpose of creating a basic UML diagram (without arrows, just lines) while collaborating with others. The problem I am having is that I can create

• a box without text (shapes/box_image from dropdown menu)
• text without a box (from the 'text box' menu (perhaps a misnomer))

However, I need text with a box.

If this is not possible with Google Docs, I would consider another collaborative method for creating UML diagrams. Google Docs is really best though because we already share many Google documents.

Answer 1

1. Go to Google Docs
2. Click Create
3. Choose Drawing
4. Click on the Shape icon
5. Choose your shape
6. Draw your shape
7. Click right on your shape
8. Click Edit text...
9. Enter your text
10. Click Enter
    

Answer 2

Double click on your shape and a text box will pop up. You can enter text in that box that shows on the shape after you click off it.
