Thanks to everyone who responded. Apparently this feature does not do what I thought it did. It does seem well suited for labeling road networks, as Steve Wallace pointed out. I will have to try one of the workarounds.
Thanks again. Frank -----Original Message----- From: Phillips, Frank Sent: Monday, January 12, 2004 11:30 AM To: 'MapInfo-L' Subject: MI-L "Allow Duplicate Text" is not working Hi, all. I have a set of regions, some of them non-contiguous, and I want to label each distinct piece of each region with its name. For example, if this were States, then New York would have several "pieces" (Long Island, Manhattan, NY state, etc) in one region record. What if I want to show the label "New York" on the big part, on Long Island, on Manhattan, etc? Wouldn't I just check the "Allow Duplicate Text" box in the label properties of the layer? I've done that, but it still allows me ONLY one single text label... Am I doing something wrong, or is this "Allow Duplicate Text" not really what I think it is?
