One way to do this is to use a text box:
o Go to View | Toolbars > | Drawing, to display the Drawing toolbar 
at the foot of the window.
o Click the Text icon ("T") and drag a rectangular box in the document.
o Enter and style the required text.
o Click the text box to select it - so that it shows the coloured 
border and the eight coloured handles.
o Right-click the box and go to Position and Size... | Rotation | 
Rotation angle | Angle to set the orientation.
o Copy and paste the result to form the other necessary boxes. Note 
that the copies will appear on top of the originals, so you will not 
see the result of the Paste until you drag them to a new position.

I trust this helps.
