    Question Is there a way to edit the bullet and tab settings in the MTEXT Editor?

    Is there a way to edit the bullet and tab settings in the MTEXT Editor?

    For example, when I am using number or letter bullets, I apply the bullet and then when I hit tab, I get that same bullet with a number after it. I want to be able to control this and set it to a different value. (Examples below) Also, it would be nice to be able to control the preset indent spacing / tab spacing, as well. I guess I am looking for more functionality that is similar to Word. We currently have instances where we need to copy from Word into AutoCAD and seem to spend more time editting it than I feel we should have to. I have figured out some tricks to save some time and can apply bullets manually, but would like to preset feature this if possible. I will be creating a template in Word that matches what is desired but it would be so nice to have this flexibilty.

    Current:
    1. INPUT TEXT, ENTER
    2. INPUT TEXT, ENTER
    2.1. HIT TAB TO GET TO THIS LEVEL, INPUT TEXT, ENTER
    2.2. INPUT TEXT, ENTER
    2.2.1 HIT TAB TO GET TO THIS LEVEL, INPUT TEXT, ENTER
    2.2.2 INPUT TEXT, ENTER
    2.2.2.1 HIT TAB TO GET TO THIS LEVEL, INPUT TEXT, ENTER
    2.2.2.2 INPUT TEXT, ENTER

    Desired:
    1. INPUT TEXT, ENTER
    2. INPUT TEXT, ENTER
    A. HIT TAB TO GET TO THIS LEVEL, INPUT TEXT, ENTER
    B. INPUT TEXT, ENTER
    1) HIT TAB TO GET TO THIS LEVEL, INPUT TEXT, ENTER
    2) INPUT TEXT, ENTER
    a. HIT TAB TO GET TO THIS LEVEL, INPUT TEXT, ENTER
    b. INPUT TEXT, ENTER

    Please let me know if you have any suggestions. Thanks!

    Hi Melanie!

    I am using AutoCAD 2011. We have the subscription pack, so if options are available in newer releases, I can update.
