Format Characters Within Multiline Text You can override the text style and apply different formatting to individual words and characters within multiline text. The format changes affect only the text you select; the current text style is not changed. You can specify a different font and text height and apply boldface, italics, underlining, overlining, and color. You can also set an obliquing angle, change the space between characters, and make characters wider or narrower. The Remove Formatting option on the In-Place Text Editor shortcut menu resets the character attributes of selected text to the current text style and text color. The text height setting specifies the height of capitalized text. For more information about how height is calculated, see MTEXT. See also: Work with Text Styles (page 353) Create Lists in Multiline Text You can create bulleted lists, lettered or numbered lists, or simple outlines in multiline text. Lines of multiline text can be formatted as a list. When you add or delete an item, or move an item up or down a level, the list numbering automatically adjusts. You can remove and reapply list formatting with the same method as used in most text editors. Use Automatic List Formatting By default, list formatting is applied to all text that looks like a list. Text that meets all the following criteria is considered to be a list: ■ The line begins with one or more letters or numbers or a symbol. ■ The letters or numbers is followed by punctuation. ■ A space after the punctuation is created by pressing Tab. ■ The text following the space is ended by Enter or Shift-Enter.
