I've done a search for anyone's comments on this, but have had no luck. So it must be me.
When I import text into MText from an RTF, I lose all the bullets; Numbers, letters, etc.
Take this piece of text for example:
A. MOMENT FRAMES
1. STRUCTURAL STEEL IN MOMENT FRAMES SHALL BE FABRICATED AND ERECTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LATEST EDITION OF THE SPECIFICATIONS NOTED IN THE STRUCTURAL STEEL NOTES ABOVE TO INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:
A. FEMA 353 - RECOMMENDED SPECIFICATIONS AND QUALITY ASSURANCE GUIDELINES FOR STEEL MOMENT-FRAME CONSTRUCTION FOR SEISMIC APPLICATIONS.
2. STRUCTURAL STEEL IN MOMENT FRAMES SHALL COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS NOTED IN THE STRUCTURAL STEEL NOTES ABOVE TO INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:
A. ALL SHAPES OF GROUP 3 (WITH FLANGES THICKER THAN 1-1/2”), GROUP 4 AND GROUP 5, AS WELL AS ALL PLATES 2” AND THICKER, THAT ARE PART OF THE SEISMIC FORCE RESISTING SYSTEM SHALL HAVE CHARPY V-NOTCH ABSORBED ENERGY OF AT LEAST 20 FT-LBS. AT 70 DEGREES F.
3. BOLTED CONNECTIONS IN MOMENT FRAMES SHALL CONFORM TO FEMA 353 FASTENER AND TIGHTENING REQUIREMENTS. ALL BOLTS IN MOMENT FRAMES SHALL BE INSPECTED AND TESTED.
4. WELDED CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THE PRIMARY MEMBERS OF MOMENT FRAMES SHALL BE TESTED FOR COMPLIANCE ACCORDING TO IBC TABLE 1704.3 AND THE CONTRACT SPECIFICATIONS AND PLANS. INSPECTION SHALL BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED TESTING INSPECTOR. AS A MINIMUM, THE TESTING SHALL INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:
A. ALL COMPLETE PENETRATION GROOVE WELDS CONTAINED IN JOINTS AND SPLICES SHALL BE TESTED 100% EITHER BY ULTRASONIC TESTING OR BY RADIOGRAPHY.
B. PARTIAL PENETRATION GROOVE WELDS WHEN USED IN COLUMN SPLICES SHALL BE TESTED EITHER BY ULTRASONIC TESTING OR RADIOGRAPHY. A MINIMUM OF 50% OF THESE WELDS SHALL BE TESTED.
C. BASE METAL THICKER THAN 1-1/2", WHEN SUBJECTED TO THROUGH THICKNESS WELD SHRINKAGE STRAINS SHALL BE ULTRASONICALLY INSPECTED FOR DISCONTINUITIES DIRECTLY BEHIND SUCH WELDS AND THREE INCHES ABOVE AND BELOW THE WELD AFTER JOINT ASSEMBLY COMPLETION.
D. ANY MATERIAL DISCONTINUITIES SHALL BE ACCEPTED OR REJECTED ON THE BASIS OF THE DEFECT RATING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE UBC STANDARDS AS IT REFERS TO THE TESTING IN AWS D1.1 CHAPTER 6, EXCLUDING SECTIONS 6.1 THROUGH AND INCLUDING 6.6. ALL DEFICIENT WELDS SHALL BE CORRECTED AND TESTED AT NO ADDITIONAL COST TO THE OWNER.
When this is imported into MText, I lose the numbers at the beginning of each paragraph. Any sub paragraphs, the letters are lost, etc.
When I cut and paste into an empty MText, I lose all the numbering & lettering. When I cut & paste into MText with other text already there, the numbers & letters take on whatever is already there, mearly adding to it.
What's worse, is that every machine in my office (7 of them) is doing the same thing. I was thinking it was a bug in '07, but I can't find anyone else with a similar problem. But every machine in my office with ACAD2007 on it is having this issue.
Unfortunately, our license was upgraded from our '06, so I can't go back to '06 to import my text I need.
Does anyone have ANY idea's of what I might be able to do for this ??
Thanks.

Well, this post didn't give the text any justice. The sub paragraphs are suppose to be indented.
