  You can use single-line text to create one or more lines of text, where each text line is an independent object that you can relocate, reformat, or otherwise modify.

• Create Multiline Text

  A multiline text (mtext) object includes one or more paragraphs of text that can be manipulated as a single object.

• Create and Edit Columns in Multiline Text

  You can create and edit multiple columns using the In-Place Text Editor column options and column grips.
