Add a rectangular shape (in the ribbon, select "Insert" and go to "Shapes") and format accordingly. Select the shape and under Format, select the option "Send to the back". 

Here is an image to help. If you go to View / Selection in the ribbon, you can drag the shape to the bottom of the object layers, and under Format Shape / General, enable the option "Maintain layer order". This will stop the shape from being brought to the front when users click on it once published to the service:

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

There are multiple solutions for this:

1. Add a rectangle with 'Fill' disabled and use 'Send to Back' from format menu setting

2. Add a text box with 'Background' disabled, 'Border' enabled and use 'Send to Back' from format menu setting

3. Add 4 lines and adjust them in canvas so that they look like a box

 

Give a thumbs up if this post helped you in any way and mark this post as solution if it solved your query !!!

Hi Paul,

Pls help us to have two tables inside a box or shape, the two tables have scroller (Beacuse tables have 15 columns). so full table is not fit inside the text box or shape. Thanks 

Sorry, can you elaborate a bit more an provide a depiction of what you need?
