Default Just want to add text block to form!

I just want to add a text block to a form, that's it! But so far the only way
I've seen to do it is to use a already formatted function that has a box
associated with it and just renaming the text associated with the box then
delete the box leaving just the text.

There must be an easier way! I've looked for something similiar to the "Text
box" command I use in powerpoint all the time but I can't see the equivalent
in form programming.

I'm sure this is an easy question to answer for most of you and I'll feel
stupid once you tell me but I must know!

The control toolbox has a text box control on it. Is that what you're looking for?

Yes, I was looking in the field chooser box, didn't dawn on me the control
box would have one!

Oh wait well no not exactly. That still makes the text a "box". I just want
words to lay on the surface of the form but not in box form. does that make
any sense to you at all?

Nevermind I found what I was looking for using the label control option which
is probably what you meant.
