Many thanks to all who responded. Editing the MIF file worked great. I now
remember seeing this problem before on the list and another hint was to
export a dummy mif file with the projection you want and cut and paste the
coordinate line into your file.
Thanks again,
Tim

Subject: Re: MI changing the projection of a table
Hi Tim,
You could export the table out as MID/MIF format, then edit the header
of the MIF file to put in the correct projection parameters. Another
approach would be to export the table as DXF, then using Table > Import,
specify the projection and any coordinate transform if needed. Note
that this 2nd method loses any attributes you may have attached to the
linework.

P.S. I'm glad to hear you are using Discover. We use and sell Discover.
I really appreciate the scaled output feature.
