Afternoon All,

We have been generating some MID/MIF from an application written in Visual Basic.  
When we import the data into MapInfo we are seeing some odd behaviour.  Some of the 
text is being placed incorrectly and sized wrong.  The following is an extract from 
the MIF file:

Text
"Tongue"
 435190.047672707  392426.393545567  435198.4  392428.45
Font ("Verdana", 0, 0, 0)
Angle  14.5

pline  5
 435190.448280714  392426.393545567
 435190.047672707  392427.942581791
 435197.999391994  392429.999036225
 435198.4  392428.45
 435190.448280714  392426.393545567

Text
"Gutter"
 435201.434535835  392430.15  435208.208814396  392435.652956545
Font ("Verdana", 0, 0, 0)
Angle  44.2

pline  5
 435202.55  392430.15
 435201.434535835  392431.297056972
 435207.093350232  392436.800013518
 435208.208814396  392435.652956545
 435202.55  392430.15

The first item of text is the one that appears correctly (the plines will draw an 
outline of where the text should appear on the map).  The second item of text 
("Gutter") does not appear within the second pline element as it should.  For some 
reason MapInfo imports the text larger than it should be and in the wrong place.

Why?

I can see no reason why this should be happening - can anyone else?

Many thanks for any help that can be provided

Regards,
Colin Henderson
