Press Shift+T in View mode, or Ctrl+U and <Right> in Browser (for batch convert).

What way do you use? Can you see any dialog? Maybe you should change size, it can be very small on large images...

Try again, just open image in window (not fullscreen), press Shift+T - can you see "Add text to image" dialog? If so, change font to very large (>48), orange color and press OK, move the cursor and left click to paste it.
