We are using SolidWorks 2005 SP3.1.
Just noticed that all of us here when adding tapped threaded callouts we get an extra space after UNC and before the -2B. I have checked out the calloutformat.txt file for location and text. We have the following for threaded holes.

TAP-DRILLTHRU(ct)=<hw-threaddesc>-2B THRU

No extra space but it still shows up. Does everyone have this issue? I have not called the VAR yet. Maybe the standard has changed and I am not keeping up.

I just checked. I get "4-40 UNC - 2B". Spaces before and after "-".

Thanks, now I know I am not crazy. I removed the space after the -

It doesn't hurt to have spaces. I prefer without them. But, I wouldn't change any SW files to remove spaces.
If you can change the file and it works for you, great.
