I am editing mtext and I am not sure exactly at what justification it was originally created, and everytime I edit the mtext when I complete my edit and accept changes and exit out of the command the mtext jumps to a new location. How can I change the justification to this already established text within my drawing so this does not happen? The mtext is middle center justified. I know if I create new mtext at middle center justification and make an edit, the text does not move......its just with this other text that was already in the drawing......thanks

I just checked and it is a multi-leader with no leader. I do this quite often while drafting....I copy around my text starting with a multileader, this way I have a leader I can attach or detach as I need it. I just never knew why the multileader text behaved this way.......well I know now and thank you very much...it was driving me crazy too. Maybe someday they will fix this issue.
I've used them too; useful for maitaining a box around the text.
One workaround is to keep them left justified. I think the problem only occurs with centre or right justification (and only when there is no leader).
If you don't need a box around your text, I suggest exploding it to mtext for now. Then use the lisp posted here to convert it to a multileader if & when you need to.
