Greg,
When you insert your thematic legend, you have either a choice of "Theme
Legend of ..." OR "Legend of ..."
Both will insert your thematic legend, however I think that if you use the
option "Legend of ..." you won't have the truncation problem". I always use
this one.
Does someone know what the difference between the two types of thematic
legends are and why they exist?
Thanks,
Bill

Subject: [MI-L] Printing Legends in Layout windows
Dear All
I have just noticed something in MI v 8.0 which I had never picked up on
before and wondered if anyone else can come up with a solution?
I have a layout showing a mapper containing a thematic map, and a separate
window embedded within the layout for the thematic map legend. Some of
the classes in the legend have quite long names and in resizing the legend
window I noticed that some of the text appears to be artificially cut off
(in this case at least half of one word on one line and oddly half a
character on another).
On double clicking the legend box there is an option called Fill Frame
With Contents, which when unchecked shrinks the displayed legend window
down to a bounding box which perfectly masks the missing sections of the
legend text. However when checked it opens up the window to its user
defined extents, but still truncates the text to the limits of the box.
So, my question ... can anyone suggest how I can get the missing text to
display (ie can I or how do I change the dimensions of the bounding box
within the legend layout window?
Regards
Greg Phillips
