Type:String
Saved in:Config
Initial value:Internal


Sets the name of the program to use for editing MTEXT objects. You can specify a different text editor for the Paragraph Text (MTEXT) and Edit Text (DDEDIT) commands. If you set MTEXTED to internal, AutoCAD LT will display the internal Edit Mtext dialog box; if you set MTEXTED to null by entering a period (.), AutoCAD LT will display the Notepad; if you specify a directory path and the name of the executable for another text editor or word processor, AutoCAD LT will display it instead. Text editors other than the internal one will show the formatting codes in paragraph text.
