The text tool is the square icon with a capital N in the top left corner. Use this tool to place text objects on the EER diagram canvas. Click the tool and then click the desired location on the canvas. Once a text object has been dropped on the canvas, the mouse pointer reverts to its default.

To add text to a text object, right click the text object and choose either of the pop-up menu options, Edit Note ... or Edit in New Window ....

You can manipulate the properties of a text object by selecting it and then changing its properties in the Properties panel.

From the keyboard, use the N key to activate this tool. For more information about text objects see Section 7.5.7, “Creating Text Objects”.
