Carl Schaefer got it one. Thanks! Here's the solution for getting labels
to stay put when creating a large-scale Layout window:
The way I correct the labelling problem is to:
1) "View Actual Size" in the layout
2) double click on the map frame and change the scale ever so slightly
(say 1cm = 500m to 1cm = 500.01m) - also make sure the "resize
frame" toggle is checked.
3) double click again and change the scale back to your original
All labels are happy now.....
And I agree with you all -- why HASN'T this bug been fixed yet? In fact,
if MapInfo needs some featues to add for the next release that will
actually excite people and motivate them to upgade, why not fix all the
layout bugs and add some features that will allow us to put a finish on
our maps that makes them look like cartographic art rather than 'toons?
Why not add antialiasing like what's in SVG? Why not text on a curve,
and some of the smart street labeling that's in MapText's Label-EZ? Why
not provide line styles where you can change both the inside AND outside
color? Why not color gradational fills? How about vector layer
translucense? How about finishing the cartographic legend utility?
Whew! (got a little wound up there...)
