    Hi Ashish (I hope that's correct).

    AFAIK, there is no way to set a direct connection between text height in AutoCAD and font size in Word.

    BUT

    If you select text in acad and control+c to the clipboard, "paste special" and select "unformatted (unicode) text" in Word will insert the selected text with the currently active font and size (and paragraph style).

    Hi panchalashi,

    Please note that I have moved this thread from the AutoCAD Tips & Tricks forum to this one. I believe it will be better served here.

    Thanks!

    There are a couple of ways to keep track of your posts. One is to subscribe to the thread. You can do that by going to Thread Tools located just under the thread title. Click on it and you get a drop down. Then when you go to your Control Panel you will see the list of threads your subscribed too.

    Also you can view your public profile. If you click on your user name in a thread you will get a pull down. Click on the View User Profile. In the middle and to the left of the page you'll see forum info. There you can see all threads started by you or all posts made by you.

    Hi Ashish Panchal

    To go along with the information Glenn has kindly supplied above, the following should hopefully prove helpful, useful...

    How do I find my own threads / posts ( especially if they have been "moved" )

    +

    * AUGI Forum Guidelines

    * How to Forum article ( Opens PDF document ).

    * Threads found in the "Forum Tips & Tricks" forum ( please note, this forum has restricted posting privileges - "regular" members can not post in there ).

    * Most Frequently Asked Questions

    To experiment and get comfortable with the AUGI Forums and the forum tools available, please use the New Forum Users forum ( not for Technical questions relating to Autodesk products ).

    Good luck
