After you choose OK in the Text Dialog, the text will appear with its bottom left portion in the selected location. the Text will be in XORed form, i.e. the text color will be XORred with the color of the background. The text is in the floating/selection mode, where the final drawing of the text has not yet taken placed. So don't be alarmed if the text has not yet been rendered to the desired effect (like 3D, shadow etc). The text will be surrounded by a dashed rectangle indicating that it is a selection. The mouse cursor changes to 'move cursor' when the mouse is placed within the rectagular region. The text now can be dragged to any desired location in the image. To embed this floating text, right click anywhere outside the text rectangle. The text will be embedded and it will be rendered to the actual color/texture and effects(like 3D, shadow etc). When in floating/selection mode, the text can be copied/cut/deleted. It can be pasted in the same or another image. When it is pasted, it appears as a new selection in the top-left portion of the image. the previous text selection is automatically embedded. The new seleciton can now again be moved/cut/copied/deleted and pasted. When a text is in selection mode and you have selected an effect to be applied on the image, the text will automatically be embedded before the effect is applied on the image.
