Do Acad 06 and 07 really have different dim text options (see below examples), or is there some setting that controls whether or not you can enter Dim Text without typing the "t" option?
DIFFERENT DIM TEXT OPTIONS:

AUTOMATICALLY LETS YOU TYPE DIM IF YOU WISH (in the example, I typed "xxxxx")
Command: _dimlinear Specify first extension line origin or : Specify second extension line origin: Specify dimension line location or [Mtext/Text/Angle/Horizontal/Vertical/Rotated]: Enter dimension text : xxxxx ============================================= Standard (or regular) AutoCad 2006
YOU HAVE TO TYPE "T" IN ORDER TO TYPE DIM
Command: _dimlinear Specify first extension line origin or : Specify second extension line origin: Non-associative dimension created. Specify dimension line location or [Mtext/Text/Angle/Horizontal/Vertical/Rotated]: Dimension text = 11.5126 ================================================
