I am working on combining a few routines that I have that work with text and in the process I want to fix one of them. I have a routine that joins text together into one piece of mtext. The routine works fine as long as the first piece of text is already mtext, but I don't want my users to have to think about it. I know I could call the express tools command txt2mtxt, but I am trying to avoid that for a variety of reasons.
I have the command most of the way there, but for some reason the text moves a bit when it is converted, which I do not want, I would like for it to stay at the correct insertion point. I know that there are many on here with far better skills than I at LISP, so I thought I would ask for a little help.
Also on another note, I want it to be able to remove tabs from regular text and mtext, if you can look at the tabs portion as well and tell me what's wrong with it. (For now, I have remarked out what I need to in order to make this mode not selectable).
I appreciate any help that you can provide.
