Topic: text removal question

[hendie]

think in this situation, since the exact string is known, I would have been tempted to use "superfind" ~ that way, you wouldn't even need to open the drawings and the whole thing could be done in minutes instead of having someone sit there and go through the entire list manually.

how to modify to work with mtext too

If'n you are talking about Marks routine it will work with MText as well as DText, the only thing I can see is that it does not find words at the beginning of the sentence unless you preceed them with a space. but otherwise a good tool

Open acad_dev.chm
go to ActiveX and VBA Reference
click on Object Model
scroll down til you see MText (in blue) click on it
examine Properties
