If you have a drawing with paragraphs of text all written in individual lines, you may find it troublesome to change the fonts, size of text, add formatting, or, heavens forbid, adjust the room the paragraph takes up. These individual lines are composed of old-school text tools like Dynamic Text (DTEXT), or regular text (TEXT).
Multiline text (MTEXT) is far superior in all ways. You can create several paragraphs of text as a single multiline text (mtext) object. With the built-in editor, you can format the text appearance, columns, and boundaries. But, what if you don’t feel like retyping existing TEXT into MTEXT?
Express Tools to the rescue. Pick Express Tools, then pick Text. You will find the Convert Text to Mtext command there. Just select the text to convert, and it is converted!
