In the old Express Tools there was a command, I believe it was "tedit", that enabled you to select multiple pieces of standard text, and then edit them in the order of selection.  This was much quicker than select, edit, ok, select, edit, ok; etc, etc, etc.  That command seems to have disappeared.

Does anybody have a replacement?  I have some files with hundreds of individual pieces of text that are extremely tedious to edit.  This routine would literally save me days!

I am running AutoCAD 2009 on MS Vista.

Thanks in advance for any help.

How far back do you have to go (which version) to find the TEDIT command?  Prior to AutoCAD 2007?

Was the command dropped or just undefined?

OK.  In AutoCAD 2012 I get the following....

Command: tedit
TEXTEDIT
Select an annotation object:

So it seems the command was not dropped or undefined but it is asking for an annotation object.  Since these types of objects did not exist in AutoCAD 2000 AutoDesk programmers must have decided to change what the command would work on.

Maybe it was a slow day and they had nothing better to do.

Thanks!  That worked exactly as I wanted.  Now I just have to remember how to make that into a button.
