Collins,

Text is a property of certain objects.  For instance, you can have
text inside of flowchart symbols and it is part of the symbol.  It
will move and resize with the symbol.  You can also have text objects
that are on top of a box, but they are seperate entities.

Text objects are added with the "T" button.  Symbols are added by
selecting the type of diagram and then selecting a symbol.  Some
have text some not.
