David The way I have worked around the problem is to set the map widow to the same scale as the layout window. When all the labels are placed I reset the map window back to the original scale.
Eg In the layout widow double click on the layout frame where it has Scale on Paper: 1mm = 0.01909 km in the Object frame window copy what the scale is set to, in the case 0.01909 go to the map window right mouse click to Change View and paste 0.01909 into the Map Scale: 1mm = 0.03223 km (NOTE: this scale) do all the labeling goto change view and reset the map scale back to the original scale Eg 0.03223 Now the layout window will print out all the labels to the right scale One advantage of this method is the map window can be of any size Regards Andrew Hare GIS Officer Waimate District Council > -----Original Message----- > From: Darrin Clement [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, December 28, 2001 4:47 AM > To: Mapinfo-L@lists. directionsmag. com > Subject: RE: MI-L Labels in Layouts > > Hi David, > > I have seen this too in both 6.0 and 6.5.
