Changing dim style on existing leader arrows

[JStephen]

Okay, another question that's been bugging me for ages. Say I draw a note using the "quick leader" button- so I have a leader line and a block of text when I'm done. Now, I use the "Dim Style Control" on the toolbar to change the dimension style of the arrow. When I do that, the leader line suddenly changes so that it goes through the text instead of stopping at the text- even if the new dim style is identical to the old one. How do I avoid this?

By the way, both this and the previous post on text size in the editor box are using AutoCAD 2002.

Thanks!

Does changing the text justification help?
