Simple dimension question

[Squiidly]

I feel stupid asking this, but there was no answer in my training CD's or the manual, at least that I could find. I have a dimension in place with a numeric value, and I want to override that value to place text instead ("EQ"). I tried to edit the numeric value in the attribute box, but i got a beep instead. How do I change the value?

Index,

"Dimensions, Modifying " pg 10.21

"Show dim value" tickbox

Leader text

Trailer text

Things may have changed in the newer versions.....

Uncheck "show dim valure"

Write whatever you want in leader or trailer fields

Thank you for responding, but I still don't seem able to change a numeric value to text. When I change the numeric value in the Object Info palette and hit "enter", I get a beep, and the value is left unchanged.
