So if this is not possible, perhaps you could draw the boilerplate text on the logo (with a paint program) before you import it to the canvass -then it becomes part of the image. As long as the text constant thoughout the form, and you can get it all to line up, this should work. If the boilerplate text must change you could probably dynamically call a new image with different boilerplate text, but that sounds ugly.
