AutoCAD-like text editor for Revit?

[micphillips]

It's no secret that Revit's text editor is horrible at best. Does anybody know of any plugin free or paid that gives way to a better text editing experience? I'm particularly interested in something that allows for easy multicolumn text editing and bullet lists.

I spend so much time trying to format bullet/sub-bullet lists in a single column within Revit. I have to manually copy columns to create multi-column texts and then adjust accordingly and it takes ages to get the exact format I want. Most of the time, I can't even use the built-in bullet lists. I'm just looking for something that makes it easier. I have not been able to find a plugin that does what I'm looking for. Any thoughts?

What about copy and paste from a word processor?

For bulleted or numbered lists line feed is your friend. Most people don't even know what line feed is.

• This is a list with enters.
• my list
• my list
• my list

This is a list with line feeds.

• This is a list with
  line feed!
  
  
• With a blank line!

I don't have problems with numbering/bulleting/indentation.  The only things I cannot do within a single text box is multi-columns, different text sizes, different colors, different typefaces.

For multi-column with paragraph numbering, create multiple text boxes and use Increment List value to alter the numbers.
