The previous prompt is redisplayed until you specify the opposite corner of the text boundary. Lists text style names and characteristics. Text styles can be defined and saved using the STYLE command. Style Specifies the text style to use for multiline text. If you use the pointing device to specify a point, the rotation angle is determined by the angle between the X axis and the line defined by the most recently entered point (default 0,0,0) and the specified point. Rotation Specifies the rotation angle of the text boundary. For example, specify single spacing by entering 1x, or specify double spacing by entering 2x. You can enter a spacing factor as a number followed by x to indicate a multiple of single spacing. Single spacing is 1.66 times the height of the text characters. Sets the line spacing to a multiple of single-line spacing. Spacing is based on the text height of the object or text style. Forces the line spacing to be the same for all lines of text in the multiline text object. Sets the line spacing to an absolute value measured in drawing units. When At Least is selected, lines of text with taller characters have added space between lines. Adjusts lines of text automatically based on the height of the largest character in the line. Use a smaller text height than the specified line spacing to ensure that text does not overlap. Note: Exact spacing is recommended when you use MTEXT to create a table. Text flow controls whether text is aligned from the middle, the top, or the bottom of the paragraph with respect to the top and bottom text boundaries. Spaces entered at the end of a line are included as part of the text and affect the justification of the line. Text is center-, left-, or right-justified with respect to the left and right text boundaries.

The justification point is based on the first point used to specify the rectangle. The text is justified within the specified rectangle based on the justification setting and one of nine justification points on the rectangle. The current justification is applied to new text. Justify Determines both text justification and text flow, for new or selected text, in relation to the text boundary. Changing the height updates the value stored in TEXTSIZE. Character height is calculated in drawing units. The default height, if nonzero, is the height of the current style otherwise, it is the height stored in the TEXTSIZE system variable. This prompt is displayed only if the current text style is annotative. This prompt is displayed only if the current text style is not annotative. Height Specifies the text height to use for multiline text characters. Arrows within the rectangle indicate the direction of the paragraph's text flow. As you click with the pointing device to specify one corner followed by the diagonal corner, a rectangle is displayed to show the location and size of the multiline text object.
