You can use the Putty tool on text to create a "warped" look.

Text can be rotated.

Apply shadow to text by selecting Text Shadow under the Effects menu.

Delete text by selecting it and clicking the delete button on the toolbar.   

You can insert text over any part of the image, including inserted clipart, but it is best used over white or light-colored areas. Caricature Studio includes text boxes, thought bubbles and talk bubbles on the Dialog panel. Simply click to insert.

Filters can be aplied to text layers, but it is not necessarily desirable, depending on the filter used. For best results, apply all effects and filters, save the image, then insert text.
