Doesn´t have the english version of OOM but will try to translate my sugestion to the manual:

Use this if you don´t have a text icon in the Symbol Pane or if you want to add more text icons for other text-sizes or collours.

  1. Right click under the icons in the ?ymbol Pane (picture).
  2. Choose "New Symbol" then "Text" and a new window called "Symbol Preferenses show up.
  3. Under the first tab named "Text General", you fill in a number (for example 1) in the becomming icons number box. Fill in a name (for example "Headline".
  4. Click on the second tab "Text Preferences" and choose the size. Most important is to choosing a colour and if you forget this you can´t see any text.
  5. Click "OK" and a new icon showing the letter "A" is now seen in the Symbol Pane window.
  6. Choose the text icon you created and place it on the map and then type the text. A small window will open up in the maps left top corner, showing where the text will be positioned in relation to the marker you placed on the map before typing the text.

Excuse me for my bad english!
