We're now going to look at editing some text. We're going to edit some multi-line text and some single-line text. So let's zoom in on the multi-line text here, which is the notes. As you can see when you hover over it, it's one piece of text. Double click on it, the Multi-Line Text Editor will kick in. Now, the first thing we're going to do there is click right at the beginning of the one there and press enter once and we're actually going to put at the top of our notes column the word Notes. And then sometimes you put a colon after it like that. Now, let's tidy up this text and get it looking the way it should. I'm going to highlight the text here. I'm going to do a bold, an italic and an underline to make that stand out. I'm then going to click away from there and then what I'm going to do here as well, you'll notice, look at all this text here. Somebody has obviously typed 1 dot space, 2 dot space. You have numbering available to you in multi-line text. I click in front of the S there, use the Backspace Key on your keyboard and let's do that for each note like so. Let's do that. Let's just tidy this up like that. Then we're going to highlight all of the text as you would in Word, just like that and then we're going to go to Numbering here in the Paragraph Panel and numbered and it looks so much neater already. So click away from that text and if I click after the third part of the text, press Enter there, it numbers to number four for me and I might put there something like check all dimensions like so. And what I can do there as well is I can highlight text anywhere in here. So I can put check all dimensions. I could underline that like so and I could confirm all dimensions here. Underline that as well. And when I close the Text Editor now by clicking on the X there, also as well, remember if I hit Escape, AutoCAD 2009 prompts me about my changes. Any previous versions of AutoCAD don't. So I say Yes there. When I zoom out now you can see that the appropriate bits of text are underlined and you can see it's a notes column. Let's do a Zoom Extents now and you'll notice there's some text down here on the title block. Let's zoom in there and you'll notice there that it's one piece of single-line text and another piece of single-line text. So what I'm going to do here is I've selected both of those bits of single-line text. I'm going to right click now and go to Properties on the Shortcut Menu. And the first thing I'm going to do is change their justification to middle, center. Close the Properties Panel and notice now they've middle centered. They've got a new grip as well you'll notice. And that's great. That all looks fine. What I'm going to do also there is update the height of that text. So let's update the height of it. So I highlight both bits of text by clicking on them, right click and go to Properties again. I'm going to change the text height there from six to 7.5 like so and press enter. If I close the Properties Panel you see it's bigger. What I also want to do there is underline each piece of text. How do I do that? I click on one bit of text like that, right click and again, go to Properties. And I use ASCII code here by clicking in front of the contents there and I type percent, percent, U, which is the ASCII code for underline. I'll press Enter now and close the Properties Panel. As you can see, when I hit Escape, it's underlined. Same with this bit of text. Right click, Properties and the contents there, click, get it in front of the alpha layout and percent, percent, U. Press Enter again and when I now close the Properties Palette, hit Escape, my text is nice and neat and tidy. Now, what I could do there as well is I could perhaps highlight both of those, maybe use that grip there just to move it up slightly like so. I should really put my Polar Tracking on for that so I get an exact vertical line like so. Hit Escape, click on that one, click on the grip, drag it up a little bit. It just tidies up and centralizes it in the title block.
