How do you add text in Paint?

Adding text to an image in Paint is straightforward using the Text tool. Here's how:

Open your image: Start by opening the image you want to add text to within the Paint application.
Select the Text tool: Locate the toolbar on the left side of the Paint window. Click on the "Text" tool, which usually looks like an "A".
Create a text box: Click and drag your mouse on the image to create a rectangular box where you want your text to appear. This defines the area for your text input.
Type your text: Once the text box is created, a blinking cursor will appear within it. Begin typing the text you want to add to the image.
Format your text (optional): A text formatting toolbar should appear, allowing you to change the font, size, style (bold, italic, underline), and color of your text. Adjust these options as desired. You can also typically change the background color of the text box to be opaque or transparent.
Finalize and click outside: Once you are satisfied with the text and its formatting, click outside the text box on the image. This commits the text to the image. Once you do this, you cannot directly edit the text again unless you undo the last action.

Important Considerations:

Font Selection: Choose a font that is readable and complements the image.
Color Contrast: Ensure the text color contrasts well with the background to improve readability.
Placement: Carefully consider the placement of the text so it doesn't obscure important parts of the image or look out of place.
Transparency: Experiment with the opaque or transparent background settings to get the desired look for your text.
Undo: Remember you can press Ctrl + Z to undo your last action, including text addition and formatting. This is important, as editing is very limited once the text box is closed.
