AutoCAD 2010/2011/2012 DWG Format

I have the same problem.  I got it to work somewhat by using 9" text and setting the spacing to 4" above and below the next paragraph.  I also got it to work by using 4" text with the same settings above and then scaled the text up to 9".  It automatically increased the 4" spacing to a larger value.  It is a clumsy work around but it works.

I got this to work in a round about way with v2011.  I used 1" text and since I wanted the space between paragraphs to be 1-1/2 the text size is set that to 1-1/2".  The text size I want is 9" so I went to "Annotation" on the ribbon bar and selected scale text and scaled it to 9".  Attached is the end result.  This is a clumsy fix.

Works great, unless you use Annotative Text.  This will help in model space though, thanks
