Pulling out hair - Inserting Word into Cad
(OP)
How do I insert a word document into Autocad and have it remember my formatting?
I am trying to insert general notes created in Word onto an Autocad plan sheet. I can't get the text to insert with out either creating long lines of text or I completely lose my formatting all together. I would like to insert my text and have it look exactly like my Word document (spacing, tabs, indentations, etc.).
Thanks In Advance.

I'm with Chris ...
I'd like to see that happen.
I've tried with no success.
After importing the text, I always have to "RE-FORMAT".
At this point, I setup the file with an MTEXT window open ... and have one of the assistance re-type it with tabs, etc... At least for long specs or general notes.
.
I hope "FH" or "BorgUnit" have a LISP for this problem. Or anyone for that matter.

It needs a lot of programming efforts and can be done using VisualLISP or VBA (VBA is better). Uunfortunately I have no code ready to do that task but if I find, I will let you know.

rtf. files are limited to 16k and the notes I want to insert are 200k+. I did find a lisp to insert notes which works ok. You need to save the doc. file as an asc. file. This works pretty good but you still lose some formatting. So I'm still looking for a lisp to inserting doc. files if this is even possible.
