In addition, you can use LabelField1 + chr$(13) + LabelField2 to have the
different parts of the label on different lines. (chr$(13) is the ASCII code
for carriage return)

>3) Is there a way to display more than one field in the hint balloon

> layer, but what if I want to display several information at once?
> Any way to customize those popup information baloons?
>
>4) If a table has the right georeferencing but the projection is
> wrong (it has been goofed at some point), is there a way to change
> that projection information without altering the coordinates?

>Thanks for any help.
