Sounds like you have some spatial errors in this table. I've never seen a
centroid outside an object. Even if you try and move a centroid outside an
object by hand, MapInfo will give you an error.
Use MapCheck (for older MapInfo versions), or Objects > Check Regions (in
newer) to see if there are any problems with these regions.
To re-cast all the centroids in a table, you can make the layer editable,
select all regions, convert all to polylines, then convert all back to
regions.
