I'm trying to link a dwg full of written text into revit but a portion of the text misaligns and doesn't wrap properly. 

I have a work around by printing it as a pdf and exporting as a jpg...then inserting that image.  It definately saves

time over retyping all of the text in revit but could be a real issue if some if the tects needs to change in the future. 

A linked DWG would be the best solution f there's a way to get the text to format propoerly.  Any suggestions?

I have seen this problem may times.  It is caused by how the text was done in CAD.  JPEG's can be huge and may cause you problems so we try not to use that solution.

If the text may change, I will usually open the CAD side by side with the Revit and use copy paste (ctrl-c/ctrl-v) to Revitize the text.  But you have to be careful of the mix of fonts they may be using and special characters in the CAD.
