This link explains how to enter the text. Drag and Drop support is documented. Editing and use of the system wide paste board is also explained.

The text may be rotated to any angle. Contoured text is generated by drawing a curve or path with the desired contour and then selecting to have the annotation text follow this contour. Follow this link for an explaination of this technique.

Display

Annotation text can be a visual part of the drawing, or an off screen notation. The annotation may be drawn along a curving path, or shown with a rotation related to the path. Follow this link for elabortion on these techniques.
Annotation provides a method for displaying text at angles other than horizontal. These capabilities allow a text message to layout with the normal capabilities such as justified, and the resulting layout positioned at any angle. The text may also be coutoured along a curve or path.
