How to show scaled text unscaled in text editor

I often have to deal with longitudinal sections of pipe trenches where I have to enter the pipe axis heights and ground heights manually. Usually these have a 1:250 length scaled and 1:50 height scale. In order to work on them I have to scale them back to "normal" which also means that all texts are scaled to a fifth of their original width. When I open these in the text editor I can hardly see what I'm writing there. Is there a possibility to set the text editor to show normal width text? I haven't found one yet apart from reading the text in the status bar before and after editing. While typing I'm as blind as a mole.

  • ok try this select the text and use the properties it will display  the text  as normal text in the display of the properties and if you click on it your sent to the text editor where you can retype it .. it will still be hard to read in text editor... but in properties you can read it  clearly..

    I don't he CE but in previous editions v8i  we could choose not to have wordprocessor mode in text editor .. this is what you want to be able to imitate in CE .. anybody else know if thats possible and how .. maybe its a keyin that's not well known...
