    All,

    I remember a rather basic command for inserting text into an object such
    that there was whitespace around the text without breaking the object.

    Along the lines of the elevation text on topo contours. The text is on the
    line and it appears that the pline contour is broken, but in reality it's
    not.

    Please help me recover from this brain fart!

    I don't recommend it, but TEXTMASK, within Express Tools, does that.

    MTEXT in 2005 has a background option. You might want to take a peek at
    that.
