Victor,

If you use the Oultline text you can create a note that can be angled as you
desire. If you make the background the same as the outline then it will be
solid.

In Windows - if you select all the items in a layer and hit ctrl-c, add a
 new layer and make it current, then hit ctrl-v (do not pick within the new
layer at this time) you will have an exact copy on a new layer.

In Windows - You can highlight a item (or many) on one layer, strike ctrl-x,
make a different layer current,  (do not pick within the new layer at this
time) strike ctrl-v and it will be moved to the new layer.
