Where is the Gimp Text Editor located

I am a novice at GIMP and getting more frustrated at every turn. I am doing a simple map. Outline, rivers, a few geographic features and some towns. I want to add text. I think I'm hitting the text icon under Toolbox (A T next to an A) but when I hit the function I do not get GIMP TEXT EDITOR. I simply gives me a box that I can type into but will not let me center/copy/past on the map. What am I missing where do I find the GIMP TEXT EDITOR box as shown in the tutorial?

You should see a checkbox control (Use Editor) in the text tool's Tool Options dialog.
