Hi On a similar topic, using the larger swatch size options on the thematic legends doesn't seem to work (v8.0). Although the rectangle appears in a larger size in both the legend window and the layout, it reverts to small size when printed on paper or to pdf. Anyone else had similar problems/solutions?

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?
