You could do the text in Word, then highlight it, copy, and do a "Paste as a Single Figure" into AC.

You could use the "Text 3D.GSM" Object.

As text size are given in plotted mm, the 2D script should resize the text size according to the scale of the plan.

we are using a stair numbering string 2D GDL object that doesn't scale the text for 1:100 or 1:50 drawings. ie the text maintains its proportional relationship with that around it.
there is a piece of the GDL script that goes:
i guess you could make an object that has an "if GLOB_SCALE = " for each scale you intend to use and do the maths on Txt_Sze accordingly?

there is a piece of the GDL script that goes:
if GLOB_SCALE >50 then textsize=Txt_Sze*500 else textsize=Txt_Sze*1000where Txt_Sze is the initial size in mm, and textsize is the final rendered output size.
i guess you could make an object that has an "if GLOB_SCALE = " for each scale you intend to use and do the maths on Txt_Sze accordingly?

If you add a parameter to specify the height of the text in mm : t_size = 55, for exemple, the correct formula should be :
t_size * GLOB_SCALE / 1000
You'll have to experiment with the 10^Y factor wether t_size is specified as a dimension or an integer
