You'd think this "bug" would have been solved long ago. I think it's been there since version 4?
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..... -Carl On 21 Dec 2005 at 13:40, Ian Erickson wrote: > This is a behavior that I have seen in MI for quite some time.
