I have text of two two lines in a column of table and i want to make them to single entity in every column and i want a shortcut any microstation feature to make them single entity with a click is that possible ? right now what i am doing is making cut of one text and pasting it in another text to make it single entity. its taking a very long me to do for every column.
For Example: This is the 2 line text what i have

It's not clear what you want to achieve. Writing text in a Forum post is rather different to creating text elements or text nodes in MicroStation. Why not post a DGN file with an example of 2 line text and single entity?

Include an example of your table in the DGN file as well.

3482.test.dgn Sure thanks MR JON please check the DGN file i have uploaded. i want to make them into text nodes your right. but i want some shortcut key or any microstation feature that will make them text nodes just with the selection.
Hi,
King Khan said:i want to make them to single entity
it's not precise enough, because single entity in the discussed context can be understood e.g. as cell or text node, which both are single entity, are able to hold texts inside, but are completely different.
King Khan said:to make them single entity with a click is that possible ?
Yes and now. Did you try to search this web for the same discussions?
You can group elements into cell using Ctrl+G.
It possible to follow this wiki article (easy to find) how to use (quite old) tool txt2node to convert texts to text node.
The conversion is not automatic, because it's pretty complicated process (maintain position, define an origin etc.), but it's simpler than to rewrite the text.
With regards,

no i don't want to use group if i use Ctrl+G the text is just grouped and the text is not in a single entity but just grouped and i don't want that . please check the dgn file i have uploaded. i want to make it completely editable text with single entity. thanks for answer.

It seems you do not read my answer, because to group to one entity is exactly what you asked for, see your original question. My note was that until correct MicroStation terminology is used, it can be understood incorrectly (like to use Ctrl+G to create one entity).
King Khan said:and i don't want that
It's your responsibility to explain clearly what you want and do it in such way, that it will require close to zero effort from readers (which invest their free time to help others).
King Khan said:i want to make it completely editable text with single entity
It seems you even do not bother to read the wiki article I linked, because it describes how to convert texts to text node.
What more do you expect?
