AutoCAD/AutoCad Text Question

Question
When I cut and paste some text from AutoCad 2008 into AutoCad 2007 the text ends up far away from the leader lines. Other text in the 2007 drawing also ends up wrongly justified. Why am I losing my text justification when I cut and paste into 2007? Thanks.

Answer
Jamie,

Although Autocad 2008 share same dwg format as 2007, the 2007 version wont be able to interpret some of the 2008 entities since its a future release. However, cut & pasting from 2007 to 2008 shouldn't render any problems since 2008 is backwards compatible. Hope this helps.
