Gary Sequence would be - 1. Fetch the first row of the selection and use ObjectInfo on the .obj to get the font. (You might find it worth while retrieving the object into a variable) 2. Use StyleAttr to get all the characteristics of the font. 3. Create a new font which is identical but with a halo 4. Use Alter Object to apply the change back onto the .obj 5. Repeat for any other rows - it would be worth switching off redraw for multiple rows. 6. Commit the change.

Does anyone have any idea how to go about this? �--------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------ Can anyone tell me how to write a MapBasic function that will add halos to selected text. The selected text objects may not be all the same font style or size but should all get the same color halo. It can be done using the tools in MapInfo, but I can't figure out how to write the function. Any help would be appreciated.
