Spacing Factor Sets the line spacing to a multiple of single-line spacing.
Single spacing is 1.66 times the height of the text characters. You can enter a
spacing factor as a number followed by x to indicate a multiple of single
spacing. For example, specify single spacing by entering 1x, or specify double
spacing by entering 2x.
Rotation
Specifies the rotation angle of the text boundary.
■ Specify rotation angle.
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.

The previous prompt is redisplayed until you specify the opposite corner of
the text boundary.
Width
Specifies the width of the text boundary.
If you use the pointing device to specify a point, the width is calculated as
the distance between the start point and the specified point. Words within
each line of the multiline text object wrap to fit the width of the text boundary.
If you specify a width of 0, word wrap is turned off and the width of the
multiline text object is as wide as the longest line of text. You can end a line
of text at a specific point by typing the text and pressing Enter. To end the
command, press Enter at the MTEXT prompt.
Columns
Specifies the column options for an mtext object.
Static Specifies the total column width, the number of columns, the gutter
width (the space between the columns), and the height of columns.
