Ali, The Text is defined by a bounding box. In your case, it looks like the box is degenerate:
361070 169570 361550 169570 While the 2 X values are different (361070 and 361550), the two Y values are identical (169570). So, the bounding box is a line. MI Pro will try to determine the size of the font that will fit inside the bounding box. This is how the Text becomes bigger as you zoom in and smaller as you zoom out. In this case, the size of the font is 0, and I'm guessing no text is ever drawn.

In my MIF file there are some polylines and texts. When I import it into Mapinfo, I can see the polylines, but can's see the texts. Evenif I export the created tab file from this MIF file, I can see the texts data in MIF file when I open it with notepad. There should be something wrong I am doing, as I am not able to see texts in the tab file. Following I have written a small part of my MIF file. Does anyone know what the problem is? By the way, the way I placed the text file, was to just add a constant value to the x, and y value of starting line, then having y constent, the second x of text is just adding a value like 100 to the beginning x of text. I do not know if this kind of placing text in MIF has a problem, if it is not a right way, I would like to know on how to place a text next to a x,y point?
