M$ came out with an update last night that hoses Inventor's text editing. Here's the reply from ADSK I received this AM:

Dear Gregory,

I've got new information on an MS update today: If you've applied Microsoft Hotfix KB918118 you will notice that you can’t create or edit texts in Inventor .IDW’s.
The workaround is to uninstall this hotfix. Please uninstall this from Add/remove programs and spread the word. Let me know if I may close this case. Thank you.

Best Regards,
