You'll get what you're looking if you add the Fontwork *toolbutton* (not
Fontwork Toolbar) by:

a. Tools > Customize.
b. In Toolbars page select the toolbar you want to add the button to
then click Add.
c. In the new dialog, select the Format category, Fontwork command.
Validate

Now you've got the right tool to get going.

Usage:
1. draw a line or a shape.
2. enter the associated text to the line/shape, as usual
3. click the Fontwork button and enjoy!
