Uhum... You are using the wrong tools my friend. Pdraw is a graphic artist's
tool, it's not for doing DFDs. You should put your "lots of text" into the
boxes (outlined OC) in ProPage 2.0 or Pagestream 2.1 or Saxon Publisher 1.1.
Each has primititves for adding the little polygon-critters that you want.

I got no problems with it. Check, Version of Kickstart, software, corruption
of files etc...

Yes! This is the one you need. It's great.

I usually smile when I tell people that. Sounds like you're having a bad
week. Try using Imagine or Dpaint, it'll cheer you up...
