Regardless of the number of lines, each set of paragraphs created in a single
editing session forms a single object, which you can move, rotate, erase, copy,
mirror, or scale.
There are more editing options for multiline text than there are for single-line
text. For example, you can apply underlining, fonts, color, and text height
changes to individual characters, words, or phrases within a paragraph.
Annotative Text
Use annotative on page 1518 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,
