Clicking into Mtext deletes paragraph tabs

[freddyPAUBD]

See attached file.

When clicking into this Mtext only the lines of text that start with "Slab" get their respective paragraph tabs deleted. You can even rename any line starting with something other than slab, to 'slab" and exiting and clicking back into the mtext will delete that lines tabs.

Anyone know a solution?

Hello @freddyPAUBD 

I believe this text was imported from a different program. The formatting differs from native AutoCAD text, and the bullet points are labeled as “SLAB,” which I assume cannot be created directly in AutoCAD.

As an alternate workaround, you can explode the MText into text and then edit it.

I checked the SLAB text is single text .

@freddyPAUBD Create an MTEXT in that file, a new one, then in the editor right-click and uncheck these two settings (and ignore the scary alerts that are not relevant for your exact need)

Now your pre-formatted MTEXT will never be affected when you open it to edit ever again
