Step 2: Click on anywhere in the canvas where you need to add the text. Drag the mouse until the size of the text box is sufficient for your text.

Text Block Adjust Tool

If you have added a shape that has text in it and you need to adjust the latter, you will need to use the Text Block Adjust Tool.

Step 1: Write a text on the canvas and then navigate to Symbols. Click Text Tool > Text Block Adjust Tool.

Step 2: The outline will show control points, which you can drag to change the size of the box and move the position of it as well.

Step 3: If you want your shape to remain as it is and want to rotate the text to a certain angle, drag the rotation handle to rotate the text.
