Here you go, go into Map---> Layer Control select the wards layer click on Label... under Label with: select expression use the expression Mid$(<yourfieldname>, 5, 50) This will now label your ward layer with just the info AFTER the word ward
to break down the expression Mid$ Returns a portion of the string (or <yourfieldname>) starting at the character position you specify (5 in this case since the word "ward" is 4+1 blank characters long) and extending for as many characters as you specify (if your field is 50 characters long specify 50 - it won't choke if you set this too high). Hope this is helpful - let me know if you need more help on it. Cheers Kevin M.

Each ward name is preceded by the word "ward" I would like to label this field but without the word ward. Does any user know the syntax for doing this?
