How do I add a text box in the Microsoft Word online edition for browsers?

I am editing a Word document stored on Box cloud service, using the Microsoft Word Online, so that I can make edits from my browser.

The instructions I've found online seem to indicate that it should be possible to navigate to `Insert > Text Box`, but (as shown in the screenshot below) I do not see text box as one of the options on the menu.

![Menus for Microsoft Word Online, with the Insert tab selected.  The options shown are Page Break, Table, Picture, Drawing, Link, Table of Contents, Bookmarks, Online Video, New Comment, Header & Footer, Page Numbers, Equation, Symbol, and Emoji](https://powerusers.codidact.com/uploads/h9e3z9jt9tb5ghacijiajaxhtlp6)

Is there a way to add a text box through this interface?  If so, how do I do it?
