adjusting text
I have added text to my score, but it is jumbled up and overlapping. Is there anyway to stretch out measures to facilitate the text?
Thanks for your help!

Are you adding lyrics to a song? Or just instructions to a player?
MuseScore supports different types of text. Lyrics is ont type, and it should by default not overlap. Instead it should stretch the measures to fit.
Here is the description in the Handbook:

It is in general a good idea to read the handbook.

Well, I should have been using cntl/L to enter lyrics! Live and learn. The more I use Musescore the better I like it! Thanks everyone who replied.

Attaching the score (or a portion of it) that shows the problem will facilitate a targeted solution for your specific case.
"I have added text to my score, but it is jumbled up and overlapping"
If you are talking about entry of lyric text under the notes, then the entry method is described here:

"Is there anyway to stretch out measures to facilitate the text?"
To show fewer measures on each system (thus stretching the measures), you can use a system break at the end of each line. Breaks and Spacers have their own palette and are described here in the Handbook:
