I don't have 9 (using 10), so I don't know if this applies, but it's really simple.
Say you have your text all typed and formatted, and you already have your shape drawn (like a fish or whatever). Just copy or cut the text into the buffer (CTRL-C or CTRL-X, respectively), select the text tool, and move the text cursor over the shape at the desired insertion point until your cursor changes to a text cursor with a *slanted* line on the bottom. Click there and paste the text.
Alternatively, have the shape drawn, select the text tool, and click at the desired insertion point on the shape (again, the cursor should change to the text tool with a slanted line under it to make the text conform to the shape) and start typing the text. You can easily modify it later.
Hope that helps.
