Text question

This may be a silly question, but how do you add text to the screen. For example in this game (http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/idigcows/184854) it says: 'Step 1: Pour in Flour'). can any one help please?

Re: Text question

If you download that project you referenced, you will see a sprite called Steps.  It has a bunch of costumes.  Each costume is made up of a line of text made in the Paint Editor using the text tool.  So the text for the steps is changed by changing the costume of the Steps sprite.  I hope that helps!
