This is a behavior that I have seen in MI for quite some time. The only
"fuzzy", "unofficial" resolution I have found is to take the following
steps:
* Set the Layout Window to "View Actual Size"
* Switch back to the Map Window
* Using the Label Tool, click on any one of the labels on the map.
* Go back to the Layout Window.
For some reason, MI does seem to forget about offset values at some
point. As I mentioned, this is a fuzzy science and if you're printing
to a PDF, you may see offset no matter what.
Hope this helps....

I've got a map with route symbols on it made by creating a layer of
point objects (highway shields in this case) with a label field
containing the route number. When I display them in a map window with
the autolabel feature, they look fine at all scales. However, when I
create a layout window for this map window, particularly if it's a
large scale view, the labels very often seem to wander off the symbol,
sometimes comlpetely off it. The offsets don't seem to be predictable;
some labels are more poorly aligned with their symbols than others,
and the offset directions seem to be random.
Has anyone else expeienced this problem and is there a fix for it? It
happens with MI 7.0, 7.5 and 8.0.
