Generic Grid Bubble Name

Does anyone know if there is a way to change the grid line bubble name in a section drawing to something else but not have it changed on the plans? ie, so that it shows GR instead of 1. It is just a typical wall section that goes around the whole building.

What I've been doing till now is to turn off the grid bubble and manually draw another one in, just curious if there's a better way to do this.

Thanks!

How 'bout just being sloppy - one of Revit's strong points, apparently :( -
and adding GR as opaque text on top of the existing bubble text? It's an
ugly kludge, but perhaps fewer steps for you?

Just a thought,

We made a new grid family with no text for just
these occasions.  Also usefull in DD packages when the grids need to be
shown but the lettering or numbering has not been estabilished yet.  Hope
this helps.
