MATLAB: Do I receive an error when trying to insert a text box into the figure, after setting the axes default ‘LineStyleOrder’ property in MATLAB 7.0 (R14)

axesboxlinestyleorderMATLABplottext;toolswindows

I am plotting using the following code:
set(0,'DefaultAxesLineStyleOrder','-|--|-.|:')
plot(1:10)
I then I push on the "Plot Tools" button on the figure toolbar. In the Figure Palette on the left side, I click on "Text Box" link under "Annotations."
When I go back to the figure and try to manually position the text box, I receive the following error:
 ??? There is no 'units' property in the 'textbox' class.
 Error in ==> scribe\private\scribemethod at 41
             obj.methods(fcn,args{:});
 ??? Error while evaluating figure WindowButtonDownFcn.
