I am creating some general notes and it all looks just the way I want it when I click out but then when I click back into the text it moves some of my text around.  Any ideas why it does this or how I can stop it?  I have attached 2 images below, one shows the text the way I want it and the other is how it looks when I click out and then back into it.

Spaces placed in text editing do not space the same after closing the editor. That's because the text is formatted by TTF settings after you exit the text editor.

 

Tabs usually are better I think.  If these are sperate text lines instead of one text element, that makes your work even harder.

It is all one text element.  I will have to try to take out all of the spaces and see if that works.  Kind of a pain.  Thanks!

No suggestions.  Understand that TT fonts are typically kerned and that makes columns hard to do with spaces.

I would suggest getting your text to the way you like it and then export it as a CAD file.  When you do this open your cad drawing up and WBLOCK out your text as its own cad drawing. 

 

Link this new "Text Drawing" back into Revit.  You will be able to edit it in CAD and reload it in Revit so keep track of the CAD file and not delete it. 

This way, Revit will recognize the file as a CAD file and not a text file and won't screw around with it.  Hope this helps.  I know its not the ideal way but sometimes you have to fool Revit if you can't get it to work right.
