Moving text

I have used video software before, but am new to Adobe. I have a very basic request which Adobe has apparently made very complicated. All I want to do is type text into a title and then move that title where I want. This was easily done with my old software; all I had to do was drag and drop. But Adobe offers me no such option, only extremely limited options such as centering, etc. The "help" section has been no help at all, especially having to sift through thousands of responses. How can something so simple be so difficult? This is not a good start, and I am not a happy camper.
