Quick Tip - Annotated Text Won't Move, Delete, Rotate, Etc.

While you were working in AutoCAD and were using Annotated Text, (available since AutoCAD 2008), have you ever noticed that after you save the file, you can't manipulate it anymore? It's some sort of "glitch". I have found that if you close the file and open it again you can once again move, rotate, delete, etc. once again. Until you save the file that is. This is very annoying to me because I have developed the habit of saving nearly every five minutes or so (I have trust issues with the autosave and my battery back up!)

Note: Anonymous (I'm not sure who you are but thanks!) left a comment on this post saying that he/she would run the AUDIT command and make sure that you press Y (meaning yes) to make sure that any errors are fixed and that will allow you to edit your annotated text again. I tried it out and it works great!! Keep the tips and comments coming! Great work
