Thanks to all - Woody, your method works great and if you set the layout display options to Always (thanks Jenny), the update is quickly apparent and it beats zooming in and out to see the changes. Hopefully Mapinfo 8.0 will help the user manage overlapping labels more effectively.
Until then... -----Original Message----- From: Woody Woodruff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 22, 2003 12:39 AM To: Woody Woodruff; Mark Benson; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: MI-L Freezing the layout??

Here's my trick, this will work where the labels are actual text objects, not placed with the label tool or label checked in layer control, you can save labels to its own layer (table) with stock "Labler.MBX". Open the mapper window that the layout is based upon and at its proper zoom. Go to Window>Clone View. This will give you 2 identical maps with same name :1 and :2. In layout dbl click the frame and re-specify mapname:1. Map #1 stays at the proper zoom for layout. Map #2 becomes the detail map that you may zoom and pan for moving the objects. While you cant stop the layout from going to blue, when you click on it after the edit it will refresh with new position of label at the proper zoom.

Hello, Is there a way, in Mapinfo 7.0, to freeze the zoom level on the layout window while still zooming in to a larger scale on the map window? I make maps of marketing areas, which are comprised of US zip code polygons and I have to often make adjustments to uncover some labels that overlap. I would like to see the changes occur on the layout without having to return to "Previous View" on the map window. Any suggestions on dealing with this would be greatly appreciated.
