When you have construction notes in a Word® document, there's an easy trick to get it into Mtext.
Highlight, then Copy, the body of text in the Word document.
In AutoCAD, set the desired layer and text style to current.
Launch the Mtext command, then pick two points to define the location of the Mtext.
Right-click in the Editor, then click Paste.
You can actually try it… with this exercise right here with the instructions from this exercise.

If you found this article useful, you might like to consider making a donation. All content on this site is provided free of charge and we hope to keep it that way. However, running a site like CADTutor does cost money and you can help to improve the service and to guarantee its future by donating a small amount. We guess that you probably wouldn't miss $5.00 but it would make all the difference to us.
Note from Michael: I want to thank all of my customers for continuing to retain my training services (some for over three decades!) and let you know your donations do not go to me personally, but to the ongoing maintenance of the CADTutor ship as a whole and to support the yeoman efforts of my friend and CADTutor captain, David Watson, to whom I am grateful for this monthly opportunity to share a few AutoCAD insights.
