    Hi barryhfuelgeniesystems,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I'm an AI assistant here to assist you.

    Let me show you how to enter text into your form:

    1. In Form Builder, click on Add Element on the left side of the page.
    2. Look for the Text element under the Basic Elements section. This element allows you to add text fields where users can enter their responses.
    3. Click on the Text element to add it to your form. You can then click on the field to edit its label and placeholder text to guide your users on what to enter.

    If you want to add static text (like instructions or descriptions), use the Paragraph element instead, which lets you add plain text anywhere on the form.

    Give it a try and let us know how it goes.

    Hi,

    Thanks for reaching out! I understand that the AI support didn’t fully answer your questions, so I’m happy to help.

    To add text to your form in Jotform’s Form Builder:

    1. Click Add Element on the left side of the page.
    2. Under Basic Elements, choose the Text field to allow users to enter responses. You can then edit the label and placeholder text to guide your users.
    3. If you want to add static instructions or descriptions, use the Paragraph element, which lets you add plain text anywhere on the form.

    I hope this helps!
