Hey, I am unable to paste the copied text into the third box. How to make the box a container?

When working with Adobe Illustrator, I can't turn the box into a container, so that the copied text is constrained to the size of the box.

  1. Copy your formatted text;
  2. select the Type Tool (shortcut T);
  3. point your mouse in any corner of the square, for example, left top;
  4. click once; (the square's color is going to change to white);
  5. delete the text standard (huge black letters);
  6. now, paste your formatted text (shortcut CMD + V)

I hope this tip helps you.
