You can also go to the INSERT menu and choose FRAME. You'll get a special box drawing cursor which you drag from the upper left corner to the lower right corner to establish the size. You can type text into the frame. Then, you can right click on the frame to set various properties, such as degree of rotation (0-360°), text color, border color/width, alignment, wrapping, etc. You can also choose where you wish to anchor your text frame. Or you can click on VIEW > TOOLBARS > DRAWING. From the Draw Toolbar you can choose text frame among many other options such as background color, font, points, square corners, round corners, etc.
