Is there a quick way to change the font attributes in mtext? There are many notes on a drawing that I'd like to change the font and size, but the only way I have found to do this is to manually "Change Text", highlight, then reset attributes. The mtext properties menu doesn't show the text size either... There must be a simpler/faster way to do this.

MText supports the ability to have different sizes of text within one single entity, so the only way to change the size is to open the MText entry dialog, highlight the text you wish to change, and then set the new size.

Mark, Does the Enlarge tool work to resize all the fonts in an MText proportionally?

Dennis, if you are only using one size text in a particular entity, then you should consider ParaText instead of MText. Then it would do what you want with the regular change text tool.
