dimension text stack up vertically

[jseng]

When I use a leader to point to and area and add a description - the text is stacking up vertically. For example - pointing to a part and describing it as "steel ring" - when I hit the space bar to separate the words they stack up vertically as if I were hitting the return. I can't find the option to stop this - I don't find it in dimstyle (AutoCAD 2000).

You using a text STYLE defined or set to be vertical, or your MTEXT window
is not wide enough.

In addition i have found when you click the first point, click the second
point without moving the mouse to set the width 0, then the text will wrap
as you designate.

thanks

I was able to change my text font by hitting the button next to text style (dimstyle command, modify, text). And the text wrappng disappeared, even when I returned to the original font.
