Hi Alex, text as a 3D NURBS solid is much more heavyweight in data complexity than text in a word processing document, so it's not really a great fit to optimize the text tool for high amounts of text entry since that can quickly become too complex of a 3D model.

That's why the text tool in MoI is focused on just entering in a single line of text that might be used as a raised label as part of the model or something like that.

What kind of model are you creating where you're needing to enter in paragraphs of text as part of the model? In general it's pretty uncommon for manufactured objects to have that quantity of text embedded into their shapes...

I think that at some point in the future there will be a different kind of text tool - one that will add in "annotation text" for 2D labeling, and that will likely include some things like alignment and multi-line entry. Right now I'm not sure exactly when that will happen.
