I encountered a subtle error recently that those of you who label maps using MI 7.0 should be aware of. I had put down a set of single character text strings in the cosmetic layer, then I cut them and tried to paste them into a permanent layer. Some of them never showed up; they vanished! After saving the file, I noticed that the *.ID file swelled up from 1 KB to 54 MB! So I packed the table to compress the ID file and damn if I didn't lose more text!
It would be all to easy to paste a group of text strings from all over a map and not know that some might get lost, so I thought I'd let you know about this problem. It seems to be associated with MI 7.0 (earlier versions are okay) and MapInfo has filed it as bug #28441. - Bill Thoen --------------------------------------------------------------------- List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 8397
