Basically - No.

When you Export a photo you can add text as a watermark, but nothing creative. Lightroom has its strengths in 'Photo' editing, and not 'Creative' editing.

You would need another App to add text.

An example might be Faststone Image Viewer that has a 'Draw Board' function for text-

 

Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.3, Photoshop 27.5, ACR 18.3, Lightroom 9.3, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.3 .

Thank you for your help Rob.

I attempted to use the Watermark. It appears that it does not allow Enter/Returns or any way to make it more than one line of text, am I mistaken with this?

I am about to cancel my subscription and donate the 50% fee of the remaining unused 10 months to the Adobe Monopoly. I feel kinda like I have been conned by a very lower echelon of an organized crime syndicate, into just "trusting" that they are trying to help me. I had a bad, bad feeling when I did not cancel the free trial- thinking that something as basic as adding some text- Like you can do on a SNAPCHAT APP- just must have been a part of the product.
