If your shape is a custom one, you'll find it:

  On Linux/UNIX:
        in your ~/.dia/shapes

        if unmodified from main:
          in one of the subdirectories of /usr/share/dia/shapes/, 
depending on sheet it belongs (see Sheets menu, while it can be i-10n).

if found in /usr/share... copy the shape in your ~/.dia/shapes/, You'll 
have to create a convenient sheet (see doc you point above).

then use a simple text editor such as vim, emacs or nano and replace the 
svg:text element by a textbox, according to document format you point in 
your URL.

Unfortunately, I can't help you on other systems.
