The user-defined text is provided by means of a Text Plotting icon.
Create a new Annotation View icon and visualise it - the Display Window will be empty.

The automatic placement of the legend may not always be perfect for your particular plot. When we set the legend to be on the right-hand side of the map, there may not have been enough room for it. We can fix this by reducing the amount of space that the map takes up. Each view icon has a set of parameters to set the size and placement of the "subarea". This is the area on the physical page occupied by the view. These parameters are defined in percentage of the page size. Try setting Subpage X Length to 80, then plot some shaded data and apply your legright icon to it to confirm that it now fits better.
