HI @Anonymous,

I see that you are visiting as a new member to the AutoCAD forum. Welcome to the Autodesk Community!

I have opened your drawing file (thank you) and have tried copy/paste of your MTEXT but I can't get it to do anything abnormal. Is it possible to make a quick Screencast Video of what you are seeing when you do this?

Hi John,Thanks for your help.
I will send you the video but to see whats wrong, you have to select the text and try to paste in the same mtext. And then try deleting one or two items you will notice weird placements of text.

Hi @Anonymous,

I guess I will have to wait for your video. I think I am following the steps you describe but I am not seeing anything unusual.

It appears that you have a lot of text styles that came in from Xrefs. If you clean up the list of text styles does that correct the problem?

until waitung of your (Autoidesk-)Screencast: "but I am not seeing anything unusual." ME TOO

If you are not so familiar with the software (excuse me, but I do not know you)
and your problem also happens when you type in (ass) new Text, then select the MText-object.
You will see 4 blue "Points", drag the upper-right to the right, then try it again.

Thank you but that does not solve my problem.
I tried to paste without paragraph formatting and it works but still
curious why I have to select that option all the time.
