Using the command bar

1. Click the Text button on the toolbar.
2. Determine the desired text properties in the command bar, click Apply and drag the text to its desired location, or determine the X and Y coordinates of the text and click [OK], or combine the two methods described above and click [OK].
3. Repeat the command by using the space bar or clicking the Text button again, if desired.
