Hey Maypo;
Whenever I'm faced with this task you've described, I always separate the
Columns - usually in Excel, because that's a Default Setup I can make use of
there. If the data needs a Total arrived at, then I'm one step ahead of that
game, by utilizing Excel.
I then Copy the necessary Range of Cells;
Open Notepad;
Paste the data there;
Select All;
Cut;
Go to AutoCAD - where I usually have the Mtext open, and waiting to receive
the text from Notepad;
Paste the data from Notepad.
It takes longer to explain, than to perform.
If you've got existing Mtext already, then just take it into Excel by way of
Notepad - to generate those columns you need.

Does anyone know how I can align existing text columns in an existing MTEXT
box? I inherited a drawing with a list of items intended to be aligned by
column and row but they are not.
Thanks!
