1. You can write this only with True Type fonts (Arial, Times etc) not with Romans and others.
2. To do this you have to:
- launch the command Multiline Text (_mtext in Autocad 2000)
- change the font to Arial or other TT font.
- start writing in the windowL: m m then press the Alt key and with that key pressed, press one after each other the keys 0178.
- Release all keys and you will obtain the mm2 correct.

I'm confused now!! Does DORU's procedure work in 2000LT??
I can't get it to work, i followed the steps exactly (would be really useful for cable sizes etc).

RE: Percent Percent value.......
I followed the below procedure exactly, but no success. When i tried to initially select Arial as the font, it kept reverting to 'TXT' font instead. Only after having written the text could i change it to Arial?? (Don't know if this is relevant)
"launch the command Multiline Text (_mtext in Autocad 2000)

RE: Percent Percent value.......
It works also by writing first with TXT font and then changing it. Try this:
- launch MTEXT
- write the text "XX" using the TXT font (or any other font Autocad likes).
- select the text, change its font to Arial, Times etc.
- put the cursor between the X's
- write insite m m Alt+0178 (after this you will probably obtain the correct symbol between the two X's)
- delete the first and the second X
Or you can just go to
http://dorudoru.topcities.com/mm2.zip
and download the block containing the mm2 text

Superscript
1: Put the "^" symbol AFTER the word or number you want superscripted
2: Right-click the text and "^" symbol
3: Choose "stack"
Superscript Examples
"mm2^" turns into mm2
"Mr. Flores^" turns into Mr.Flores
Subscript
1. Put the "^" symbol BEFORE the word or number you want subscripted
2. Right-click the "^" symbol and text
3. Choose "stack"
Subscript Examples
"mm^2" turns into mm2
"Mr. ^Flores" turns into Mr.Flores
You have to do this in mtext; I use Arial, but it works with other true-type fonts.
Hope this helps,
Flores

RE: Percent Percent value.......
first I'm sorry. The right code is "mm%%178".
I think it's not a version-problem. It's a textfont-problem. In Romansd the mm² are not defined. It's not working in ADT2004 too!!!
@ACLt 2000-users: Try textfont Arial. Don't forget "_regen"
Hope it helps,

The fonts I use are Chemistry Serif and ChemistrySansSerif by J. Eric Slone.
They can be downloaded for free at http://www.scs-intl.com/frameload.htm?/chemfont.htm
They also include upper and lower case greek as well as some other scientific symbols.
