Hi Melanie, What sort of scale are you working to? In some cases 5600km would be a disastrous shift - but I guess it might be small in a map of the entire world.
What version of FME are you using? Is it 2007 beta? That would be using rich geometry and would therefore need a different approach to diagnose. Pre 2007, it could be a mismatch between the actual coordinate of the text and the insertion point, which are two different things. All text features in FME have a point geometry. The X/Y coordinate of that point is always the LOWER LEFT corner. Perhaps either you or FME are confusing it with a centre-centre insertion point?
