I have finished creating the board layout except all the GND wires.
What I want is that all the free place on the board will be part of the GND
ground plane.
How should I do that?

Next problem, I have text on the bottom where the ground plane should
come.
How can I create a clear rectangle around that text. If I create a poly
around the board the text is still there but completely enclosed.
This is a bit different from porpotional fonts and vector fonts.
Propotional fonts seem to make a nice square window, but that only shows up
if you print (not plot) the layer.
Vector fonts does add spacing around the text, but not in a window. You can
draw a square (using wires) in the restrict layer close around the text. You
may get fills inside it if the window is much bigger than the text and
orhphans=on on the polygon. Play with it a bit and do ratsnest each time to
change something.
