mtext numbering routine?

[Mike (archive)]

We do large amounts of construction notes, like I am sure everyone else does. We usually have the secretarys type these notes, and then we import them into mtext. We alway separate each note with a blank line. We don't let them number the notes, because of the spacing issues. When we import the notes, we always set the spacing to "exactly".

I have a nifty little routine that will allow me to number each note 1., 2.,
3., 4., etc, by selecting the first line of the note. The problem is, that this doesn't work in acad 2004. Does anyone know of another routine/addon that I might find out there somewhere that might do this?

The word is that Mtext has been greatly improved. Have you tried to just use it by itself and arrange in the format you wish? I know what you are referring to with the indentation spacing when you add "1." infront of the note.

From everything I have heard as well you should be able to do all this formatting right in Mtext now. I would believe you can import it exactly as it is from word to the mtext window and keep format. I have not tested this method yet but have heard it works.
