For the Shapes, choose the one that you want, say the Rectangle. Then, with it selected, click in the Title area, and drag to create the Rectangle, sized as you wish. You can then Select that Rectangle with the Selection Tool, and adjust it, or reposition it, as necessary. You do not drag the Shape, per se, but with the desired one selected, click+drag in the Title area of the Title, to create it.
When you select one of the Shapes Tools, and hover your Cursor over the Title work area, you will notice that the Cursor changes to an "outlined cross." This is what you click+drag to create your Shape.
Though that tutorial addresses using the Text Tool to create a Text Object, everything is almost exactly the same with a Shape Object. The only difference is that with the Text Tool, one has two options: just click and begin typing to create the Text Object, or click+dragging to create a Text Object "box," in which one can type in the Text. With the exception of Fonts not applying to Shape Objects, about everything else is the same.
