That way you can use a lisp routine (CHTEXT.LSP) to change the width factor of all selected text. Say the base text has a width factor of 1, with [url=http://www.zwsoft.com/Service_Support/ser_zwcad/Tips_and_Tricks/How_to_convert_Mtext_to_Text.html]CHTEXT[/url]you can change (along with a lot of other things) the width factor to 0.8 or whatever to suit.
