Hi Kemp,
I'm not sure I'm following what you're trying to do.
Right click on an autoshape then Edit Text would allow you to add text to a shape. If you're referring to the Drawing canvas (the
shape with angle brackets at the corner holding your other shapes) then the canvas doesn't include the ability to have its own text,
it's a holder of other shapes.
You could insert a rectangle shape/textbox and turn off the borders of that shape and add text to it to make it appear that the
text was for the overall drawing Canvas.

How do I enter text inside the auto shape box but not necessarily inside the basic shapes themselves, e.g. a circle, triangle,
etc.

I hope this helped you,
