    I have been away from autocad for a while. I am working on Autocad
    04. I am trying to remember how to narrow up, i.e. the width of a line
    of text to fit into a column. I think there is more than one way to do
    this. I am after the simple way if possible.
    Any help is much appreciated.

    Acad is terrible at handling text. The simple way is to use mtext, and grip
    stretch it.

    I meant TEXTFIT not Terry's stuff.

    Pardon me, but I was the one who didn't know about it after 15 years of
    acad. That's my egg!

    That one you generally "learn" by mistake...
