Certain style settings affect multiline and single-line text objects differently.
For example, changing the Upside Down and Backwards options has no effect
on multiline text objects. Changing Width Factor and Obliquing options has
no effect on single-line text.
If you rename an existing text style, any text using the old name assumes the
new text style name.
You can remove unreferenced text styles from your drawing with PURGE or
by deleting the text styles from the Text Styles dialog box. The STANDARD
text style cannot be removed.
Change Text Style
When you change the text style of a multiline text object, the updated settings
are applied to the entire object, and some formatting of individual characters
might not be retained. The following table describes the effects of text style
change on character formatting.

Annotative Text Styles
Use text for notes and labels in your drawing. You create annotative text by
using an annotative text style, which sets the height of the text on the paper.
For more information about creating and working with an annotative text,
see
Create Annotative Text on page 663.
