MLEADERSTYLE Detail Callout problem

I used the command MLEADERSTYLE and changed 'Type' from "Mtext" to "Block" and 'Source Block' to "Detail Callout". The problem that I am facing is that when I create the MLEADER, the Sheet Number on the bottom of the callout extends beyond the circle. I would like to have it remain in the circle. Is it possible to scale the text down within the detail callout?

The circle does not auto-size to fit long text entries: are you hoping it will do more of that?

Yes I was hoping it would, or I was hoping there is a way to decrease the text size. To work around this maybe I will leave the bottom text blank and just put a text box over it if there is no other way.

Hi,

You can edit the default "Detail Callout" block with BATTMAN command and reduce the size of the text or change its width factor.
Alternately you can create custom "Detail Callout" block and assign it to Mleader style.

You can convert the attribute to multi-line text and then give it a background mask. This will break the bubble as shown in the attached image.
