This is described in the subtitle section of the manual, with a sample of the text format - you should look it up to get the right formatting tags, but the generic format for the actual data is as follows:

01:00:01:00 , 01:00:04:00 , this is your subtitle

You need to have both in and out points for each subtitle. I can usually get a word file massaged into this format with a combination of table-to-text and find-and-replace steps.
