If you use a tool such as Labeler.mbx to transfer labels to a text layer, you can control the size and placement exactly, and eliminate a lot of duplicate labels.

In fact, you're probably better off using Save Window As from a layout window rather than a Map window. HTH Spencer _____ From: Tim Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 03, 2006 12:47 PM To: Spencer Simpson; [email protected] Subject: RE: [MI-L] Exported text not aligned Thanks Spencer, Good idea. How can I get the tool to move all road names for the entire layer to text objects? It only copies what's on the screen. Tim -----Original Message----- From: Spencer Simpson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 03 October 2006 17:09 To: Tim Smith; [email protected] Subject: RE: [MI-L] Exported text not aligned You are probably using labels where you should be using text objects instead. Labels are tied to a Map window; they are automatically placed by MapInfo and always stay the same size on the screen, meaning they grow and shrink with respect to the Earth. They do this even if you adjust them. Text objects exist in a table and are always the same size with respect to the Earth, meaning they appear to grow and shrink on the screen as you zoom in and out. One of the tools that comes with MapInfo is called "Labeler" and lets you convert labels into text objects. Once you turn the tool on via Tools->Tool Manager you can invoke Tools->Label Functions->Transfer current labels to move the labels into a table. After you do this, make sure to save the workspace under a DIFFERENT name from the one you opened it with, as the results may not be exactly what you want. You'll need to re-run the tool after adjusting map scales and font sizes, probably several times, before you're satisfied with the result. Hope this helps Spencer _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tim Smith Sent: Tuesday, October 03, 2006 9:15 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [MI-L] Exported text not aligned Hi List, I'm exporting two adjacent raster tiles of a vector map, but the road names so not align properly when I put them side-by-side. The roads and other non-text features align perfectly. I'm using the 'Save Window As...' tool. Is there a way to make text appear at the same place at the same zoom level no matter where the center of your map window is? My projection is UTM (WGS84) Zone 32 Northern Hemisphere (Switzerland). Here is a link to two adjacent tiles: http://www.timsart.co.uk/MI-L/tiles.gif Here is a link to the two tiles joined together - you can see the roads align, but the text doesn't. http://www.timsart.co.uk/MI-L/stitched_tiles.gif <http://www.timsart.co.uk/MI-L/tiles.gif> The pink circles indicate where the text does not flow correctly from one tile to the next. The pink arrows indicate where the text is ok when it crosses from one tile to the next. Any ideas?

When this occurs and I go into Task Manager, the CPU usage by MAPINFO.EXE is a constant 98%. Not surprisingly all other programs become basically unusable due to the lag. I am running MI on a Dell laptop with Windows XP Professional, Version 2002, Service Pack 2. The laptop has 1 GB of RAM. The problem seems to be becoming more frequent as well, with a crash occurring after adding only 3 lines to a blank table with no other software running. Any ideas on this?
