Problem With Typing Text in Draw Mode of MS Word

Hello,

I am using the Draw mode of MS Word (I have Word 97) to create a flowchart. I can successfully create many objects, like Decision and Process, and then place text inside the object. But I have no idea how to type text outside of the object. For example, 2 very important pieces of text are 'Yes' and 'No' to show how flow branches after the Decision object.

Can someone point me in the right direction? I have looked at the Help docs and done searches on the Web, but I am getting nowhere.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.
 
You could use a text box, and format it to have no fill, and no lines, and place it over your decsion box
