So being an engineering and survey firm, we work with legal descriptions. As some of you may know, the formating is different, but still easy. Anyhow, we seem to be having an issue qith the way things show up when copying text from a word doument and pasting into mtext. Do not recall it being an issue before. Basically, what is happening is that mtext is making the words 'for', as shown in attachment, a bulleted number or symbol or whatever you want to call it. So if my cursor is after the word 'for' and I press backspace, it actually deletes the entire thing. Of course, on the other side of the coin, if I press enter, it does nothing but a carriage return. Not sure why this is happening. Our legal descriptions are typically written in MS Word (MS Word 2007 of Office 2007) and then they can be pasted into the drawings mtext where needed. Have thought about exploring other options to keep it simple and potentially avoid these kinds of things, but for now, this is what I have. So a few things here in recap. Anyone know what is causing this? How to fix or correct this? And lastly, what methods do you employ for things like this?
Again, please see image attachments for more. Thanks much for your thoughtful insight and hopefully a resolution!
