2. Once you've added your text, drag and drop the text box to the location you wish for it to be. You can turn the entire text box sideways by using the rotation point located above the text box (indicated here).

3. To help line your text up, you can turn the grid on which will make it easier in dragging your text into a straight position. You can enable the grid via the icon in the top right corner of the page

Next we will go over adding your text in a vertical position, but keeping the letters upright. This will take a little more work, but the steps are quiet simple:

Adding text with letters reading downwards:

2. The next step is where you will be moving the letters downward. Once you've added your text, simply click between the letters and hit 'Enter' on your keyboard to move the letter to the next line below. You will need to do this for each letter.

(Please note, your Textbox may bleed off the page as you are making these changes, but once completed, you can adjust and move your text box back onto your page, by dragging and dropping)

3. Now that you've moved all of your letters down, the text box will need to be adjusted to allow you to move your text without the text box bleeding off the page. You can adjust the size of your text box by dragging in the corners or sides via the small green squares located on each side of your text box.
