Every once in  a while the voices in my head have a good idea.

RE: DIMENSION TEXT

There is a Microsoft update, KB918118, that seems to be causing some trouble.  You can delete it and disable automatic updates to solve the problem.  

I suspect this will cure your woes.

RE: DIMENSION TEXT

i have the same problem.
i cannot modify a text previously written, i cannot add the diameter sign, i cannot insert a text box.

rltw, are you sure bout the last microsoft update?

i remember that few days ago a new update was installed (company wide).

RE: DIMENSION TEXT

thank you rltw, i'm running release 8. is this problem occures to other realeses as well?

RE: DIMENSION TEXT

I am having the same problem with text in sketch mode, but I cannot find the KB918118 update to uninstall (I have the 'show updates' box checked) Is there anything else to try

RE: DIMENSION TEXT

We use IV10 at work and the text problem affected all four machines.  At home, I use IV11, and haven't noticed it yet.  

RE: DIMENSION TEXT

i'll see you tomorrow lawtonian
we have a pretty good i.t. guy and i'll let you know about what you can do

i'm thinking that the best will be to uninstal the last update from microsoft.
i'm sure that microsoft knows by now 'bout this issue.

i'll get back 2 u guys tomorrow

RE: DIMENSION TEXT

my guy is looking right in this very moment to uninstall the latest upgrade. he said it's quite possible that the kb file to be hidden.

keep'n touch

RE: DIMENSION TEXT

on control panel window:
click on "add / remove programs"

you should have a check box at the top: "show updates"

check that box and then uninstal the latest

good luck
