Conversion to dwg question...

    I have a particular client who uses AutoCAD, and it was agreed upon that
    upon completetion of the project and after final changes, that they recieve
    CAD files for the entire job. I have no problem with this as they are
    paying for it, however I have always used Word for my standard notes instead
    of a text box. They are complaining about the files because acording to
    them I "cut and pasted" my notes on the CAD drawings as it appears in
    AutoCAD as a Word document, and they want them I guess as editable AutoCAD
    text/notes. (God I hate when Autocrap users live in thier little box and
    think that's the way the whole world works?!)

    Is there anyway to "save as" a dwg and have the word document convert to
    text, as if you had typed them in a text box? I have 30+ drawings that
    have a lot of notes & testing procedures, etc that have tabs, margins and
    everything set up, and it'll be a PITA to redo them all (even cut & pasting)

    Thanks for the help - I've never had a problem regarding this with anyone in
    the past unitl now, so I humbly turn to my fellow users for insight. Maybe
    save as a older version instead of the latest AutoCAD? (I'll try that now,
    but I don't think it'll work)

    Thanks again...
