Adding Text to Custom Layouts

Question

Im trying to add text to a custom layout.  Here;s what im trying to do.  So you've seen the 4x6 postcards people make to hand out for a show? I followed the Scott Kelby lightroom 3 book and its not explaining how to make the template a 4x6 .  It all starts you out on a 8x11.  Then, if you want to add text, it only gives you this tiny box that wont let you make sentences or indent your lines. Ive tried different things in "identity Plate" but that doesnt work either.  I cant see what im doing because it only gives you a little box and wont show you what you are typing.  Anyway , i hope someone is having the same problem and can help me work this out.  I know it can be done. ive done it before. about 2 years ago. But didnt save my template and now cant remember how to do it.
Thanks., Sal

It would be a good idea, usually, to just upload the page and
post a link to
it. That way we can see both the HTML and the CSS, and make
suggestions
that are keyed to your specific layout.
