fine - I can type the text and rotate the object, but I cannot

what if I mistyped a word? How can I change it? What if I want to
change the line spacing? How can I access the Paragraph settings?
What if I want the text a certain color? How do I access the
Character settings? Once the object is created I can't even get the
cursor back in the text.
There are two selection modes for draw objects:
o If you click an object once, you see the eight green handles. In
this mode, you can modify the properties of the whole object -
position, size, orientation, and so on. You know this.
o If you double-click the object, you will instead see it surrounded
by a grey hatched border (and - perhaps confusingly - temporarily
rotated back to horizontal). In this mode, you can handle the text
contained within the object: select the part of the text you want to
modify and use the context (right-click) or Format menus to access
what you need.
I trust this helps.
