Need a grid for Title, Date, Version etc.

[Steve Anders]

I need a grid to put on my diagrams to identify them. I've
had no luck with the grid or title blocks in Form Shapes
stencils. The grid tool seems bizarre and impossible to
use; "Just start typing" types in the wrong place & I
cannot figure out how to move a text cursor into the
cells. The Title stencils have to be tediously re-aligned
on every copy /paste to a new drawing.

All I really need is a tool like MS Word's Table
functions - set up columns and rows, click on a cell and
type in it. Really simple, but it doesn't seem to be
available.

Anyone know how to do this?

Did you try the Text Block tool?
It allows the text block to be moved around, so it can be placed anywhere on
a page.
You can also use the arrow keys to "nudge" the shapes around.
