To put text into a drawing, you need to add a text box. A text box can contain a word, a line or several paragraphs.
To add a text box:
Click on the Text box button in the toolbar.
Press the mouse button (without releasing it) to start the text box, drag the mouse to the end point, and release the button. Alternatively, just click on the page - a default-sized text box will be added.
Type the text you require, and then press enter to finish.
The text will wrap to fit the width and depth of the text box you draw – you can fit more text into the box by increasing its size (see Resizing a draw object).
You can put several paragraphs in a single text box – type the first line or paragraph and then press ctrl+enter to start a new line. This works in the same way as the enter key does in Write.
If you want the text to appear without any background or border, set these styles to None (see Line and fill styles).
