A sidebar is a standalone addition to the main document that resides on either side or on the top or bottom of the page. The sidebar is ideal for highlighting important additional information on the topic matter of the document and, due to its styling and orientation, stands out to the reader.
1. Go to the page in your document that will contain the sidebar.
2. On the Ribbon, select the Insert tab.
3. In the Text section, click Text Box.
4. Select the style of sidebar for your document.
5. The sidebar will appear on the document. Click inside it to insert your text.
