New text boxes can be created by clicking anywhere outside the main body and choosing Insert>Text.
Save the file again when you are finished. You can either print it yourself or export it as a PDF and have it printed professionally.

To export as a PDF go to File>Export in iWork 2006, or Share>Export in iWork 2009.
