Kexi contains built-in for designer. Please use this toolbar action to switch 
to the Design Mode

Binding forms to database fields is performed using the Data Pane as presented 
here http://kexi-project.org/pics/1.1/propeditor_groups.png

'Drag & drop to create data field' also works in versions >= 1.0.

I'd say you may want to take a look at Kexi docs where topics you mentioned 
are covered:

Use text editor widget, icon:

It helps if you always specify your Kexi version and the operating system 
name/version, and if you choos a meaningful topic in your post.

BTW: nice domain name, kexiray.com :)
