rwbaker,

You want always the text 68½? IMHO, You cant put this string by "_dtext". I would use a block, which can be inserted and explode by a macro...

or:
^C^C_text;_MC;\1;0;68%%189;
Only "_text"

rwbaker,

Another thing to check is the text font. I have found that SOME text fonts will give you the desired text using %% and then a number (like 189). Others will not.

Also, it seems to me that DTEXT should provide the same result as TEXT would.

Hope this helps,
Paul

rwbaker,

Another couple of comments... In the string that you listed, you need an underscore (_) ahead of the MC to get the Middle Center justification. Also, the \0 is giving you a height of 0 - therefore, no text... Is that right?
