Similarly, when you WANT to put a bit of space between line breaks, such as when making a numbered list of Keyed Notes, so that each numbered note has a visual 'gap' before the next note, this "Paragraph Spacing" is the place to do that. It is a strange and annoying thing to occasionally open a drawing done by someone unfamiliar with MText properties, who has manually placed a "Ctrl-Enter" blank line after each Keyed Note in a list, to 'force' a blank space that they did not know could have been done automatically. In the realm of 'strange things AutoCAD restricts' there is a limit, between 1/4" and 4" for the spacing you can enter here. Unless you use the work-around of 'scaling' your MText block. That is, if you are using MText at a small size, such as 1/8" high text in paper space, and you wish to have a 1/8" blank line entered after each paragraph, bullet note, etc. you can overcome the 1/4" smallest-space restriction. You can try, but entering 1/8 will only pop up a caution that entries must be in the range of 1/4" to 4". *NOTE: I do not know a work-around for forcing AutoCAD to actually display the real fractional size of text height (3/32" CAD-Standard text height reported as 1/4"? come on...), or to display the actual paragraph spacing correctly. Smaller Paragraph Spacing: Simply Scale your entire text block double (x2). Now Click into your block to open the editor, Ctrl-A to select your text, then click the P button for Paragraph properties. Enter the minimum 1/4" in the "After" block. Assuming you have entered a few lines, which now have that 1/4" text with 1/4" auto-spacing to establish the appearance, and you see that is what you were after: Scale that same text block in half (x0.5). Now, the automatic paragraph spacing WILL be 1/8", and will continue to be correct as new lines are entered, since AutoCAD really does support other heights of line-spacing - they just don't let you enter it that way. (WTG short-sighted programming-entry guy.) For other spacing needs, just adjust the scaling work-around-game above as required.
