Pauline,
You can update your polygon table with the value from your text objects where
the text object is within the polygons using Update Column which you'll find in
the Table menu:
Update Table: POLYGONTABLE
Update Column: UNITLABELCOLUMN
>From Table: TEXTTABLE
Join: Where POLYGONTABLE.OBJ Contains TEXTTABLE.OBJ
or: Where TEXTTABLE.OBJPOLYGONTABLE.OBJ
Update with value: ObjectInfo(OBJ, 3)
The last thing you'll have to type in.
