You can include text boxes shaped like text bubbles in your Word
documents. To do so, click the Drawing button on the Standard
toolbar to display the Drawing toolbar (if it isn't displayed
already) at the bottom of the application window. On the Drawing
toolbar, click the AutoShapes button, and then choose Callouts
from the resulting pop-up menu. The Callouts submenu contains a
collection of callouts, including text bubbles. Choose one you
like, and then click in the document area to insert it (or click
and drag to size it yourself). When you do, Word places the
insertion point inside your text bubble. You can type and format
its text just as you would in a regular text box.

If you create a text bubble and decide later that you'd like to
change it to a different AutoShape, select the AutoShape and
click the Draw button on the Drawing toolbar. Choose Change
AutoShape from the resulting submenu, then simply choose a new
AutoShape from one of the resulting submenus.
