How do I enter Text in Forms? In Microsoft Word it was possible to just to write the Text after selecting a Form. How do I do it at a Mac?

Your lack of detail makes it impossible to answer your question. Mac Word &
PC Word are fundamentally the same in this regard so if you're not able to
accomplish your objective you'll need to provide specifics.

What do you mean by "form"? Where did it come from? What program created it?

How are you trying to "write the text"? What - exactly - is preventing you
from doing so? What happens - or doesn't - when you try?

As good as some are at offering solutions *none* of us are mind readers nor
can we see over your shoulder. Give us a fighting chance & someone will try
to help

1. I mean a "form" in terms of a shape.

2. I drew a form/shape (a square for expample)

3. I use MAC WORD 2008

4. I type the text (is there another possibility?)

5. Even though I select the form/shape, the text doesn't appear if I type it in.

OK, a *shape* is a graphic object, a *Form* is a structured document used to
collect information - such as a questionnaire, invoice, etc.

Office 2008 uses a different graphics engine. To add text to a shape
Control/Right-click it & choose Add Text, then type your text.
