Hey Emarcee,
You can add multiple text items in the same graphic layer. This is an old thread, so people are referring to the EGP (essential graphics panel) but in 2025 the panel is called the Properties panel.
Create a text layer to see a graphic clip appear in your timeline. It'll probably be pink. Then, when you create your next text layer, make sure that graphic clip is selected in your timeline. This will create multiple layers in your graphic clip. You can use the align tools in the Properties panel to align multiple text items at once.
See this screenshot of my Properites panel, in case it helps.
