Also using the alt key, LMB you can detatch/move it.

Here's another method I've been using for a while. It'll allow you to detach several at once.
Select all texts that are attached, right click, cut or copy it, and then paste it back again. They'll show up no longer attached to the geometry and you'll be free to move it anywhere.
Hope this helps,

I too was using that cut & paste method, usually to move to a new draft or sheet.
Kenat, thanks for the tip, works a treat, also take a star for the revision block tip of using a table, this too works very well and is far neater than messing with custom properties and/or pure text on the background sheet.
It would be good if the development of tables went a little further, similar to a simple spreadsheet, where you could process calculations etc.

using V20, tables are still limited but clean a tidy. Unfortuately you'll still have manually type revisons, but using the cells it's faster and cleaner that property text or text callouts.
Although I have V21 & ST I have yet to check it out. One of those situations where I'm to busy to take the time to change

If you hold CTL+ALT and drag the arrow off the edge it will still remain associative.
To re-attach, simply drag the arrow end back onto an edge.
On the subject of tables it would be nice if you could use property text - you can't in V19, is it any more advanced in 20/21/ST ?

RE: Txt Only callout
I think it would be a great addition to be able to use property text, but alas it is what it is, a very basic col & Row table.
You can copy a spreadsheet values etc but once placed they're dumb.
simple calculations would be a great too.
