$\fbox{Test that is a very long text to be inserted in an fbox to see is it will fit in the box or not, any whay we can see and test}$
To deal with that, we should use parbox

Note that paragraph box or parbox[box alignment]{box width}{text}
where alignment=t[top], c[center], s[stretch],b[bottom]
Here again the example. $\fbox{\parbox[c]{5in}{Test that is a very long text to be inserted in an fbox to see is it will fit in the box or not, any whay we can see and test}}$
More generally, use minipage: it is like a small page (indepenant page, u can insert whatever u want in it: figures, text, table, footnot, etc).


\begin{minipage}[box alignment:tbcs][height][texet position] {width}
whatever
...
\end{minipage}

To play with background colors, use definecolor{lightgrey}{color}{.8} as follows: lightgreygray.5 lightgrey $\fbox{ \parbox[c]{5in}{Test that is a very long text to be insterted in an fbox to see is it will fit in the box or not, anyway we can see and test}}$
