Paint 3D is an updated version of Microsoft Paint that allows users to add and edit text boxes. To select a text box in Paint 3D, users must first launch the program and open the desired image. After selecting the type of text (2D or 3D) from the top bar, users can create a text box by dragging their mouse on the canvas. Once the text is added, users can select the 3D text by double-clicking on it or creating a selection box. It's important to note that clicking outside the text box will prevent any further editing of the 2D text, while 3D text can still be rotated, resized, or edited using the right panel.

What You'll Learn
Click the text button in the top bar
To select a text box in Paint 3D, you must first click on the "Text" button in the top bar. This will bring up two text options on the right side: 2D and 3D. Select the type of text you would like to add, and only then can you insert a text box.
Once you have selected the desired text option, you can drag your mouse on the canvas to create a text box. You will see the cursor appear in the text box, and you can begin typing your text. It is important to note that you should not click outside of the text box if you wish to format your text. Clicking outside the text box will prevent you from making any changes to the existing text.
If you are working with 3D text, there are additional editing options available. While you cannot add more text after clicking outside the text box, you can still rotate, resize, and perform other editing functions from the right panel. To select the 3D text for editing, simply double-click on the text or create a selection box around it.
By default, any formatting style you choose will be applied to the entire text within your selected text box. However, if you wish to format each word or letter individually, you can do so by selecting the alphabet, word, or entire text before applying the desired formatting tools from the right panel.
