If you use another editor vs. the default MTEXT Editor that is internal to
AutoCAD sure... (eg: MS Word)
MTEXTED System Variable
Type: String
Saved in: Registry
Initial value: "Internal"
Sets the name of the application to use for editing multiline text objects. You
can specify a different text editor for the MTEXT and DDEDIT commands. If you
set MTEXTED to internal or to null, AutoCAD displays the internal Multiline
Text Editor. You set MTEXTED to null by entering a period (.). If you specify a
path and the name of the executable file for another text editor or word
processor, AutoCAD displays that path and file name instead. If the multiline
text object is fewer than 80 characters, you can specify :lisped to use the
LISP editor.
Text editors other than the internal one show the formatting codes in paragraph
text.
