Remote Text not Displaying Correctly

[CadDraftee]

I am having a problem with my remote text displaying correctly. The remote text is displayed as a rectangle with a cross though yet......to through a spanner in the works if I open the same drawing using a different profile it works just fine. So I tried to create a new profile using the one that worked as a base...and still no luck. (there is nothing tricky to our profiles the only difference between them is the project numbers on the directories - there are all the same).
Please help, it is really frustrating not having the time and date etc printing out right and it looks unprofessional.

For rtext to work correctly requires that Express Tools be functional - does one profile not have it loaded?

"to through a spanner in the works" - not a phrase I'm familiar with but I think I "get the drift"

Exress tools is loaded and working. So that is not the cause. I have now disovered that some drawings seem to work and others not - in the same profile.

CadDraftee,

I think Your ACAD (version?) can't find the rtext.lsp. Sometimes.
Solution: Add the rtext.lsp (and maybe the RText.arx too)into Your startgroup inside the "_appload" dialog box-> under the suitcase...(Sorry, i don't know the real words)
