Lost in Space

I have AutoCAD LT 2014 at home but I use LT 2013 at the office. So, I thought I would do some work at home assuming that any changes in the two versions would not trip me up. NOT!

 

All I am trying to do is type text that represents 6" high letters on a sign. My default settings are all set to annotative text and dimensioning. When i start to create multiline text and select 6" for a 6" high letter, I get 6" height as if I am placing it in paper space. But I'm not; I am placing it inside a view port. However it keeps prompting me for the paper space height of the text. Now I know that since my viewport is set to 1/2" = 1'-0" the letter will be 1/4" high in the viewport. But i thought we had gotten away from having to do any conversions. I just want a 6" hight letter in the viewport. What am I doing wrong?

Never mind.  I stepped away from my problem long enough to realize that this is the only time I do NOT want to use annotative text.
