Does anyone know if there are labelling changes coming in a future edition of MI Pro. Specifically, is there any chance that a "What You See is What You Get" labelling interface will be developed? Background: 1. Early versions of MI Pro used a graphics object approach to labelling and a "What you See is What you Get"� screen layout but did not support automatic updating of the labels when the underlying table was changed. 2. Beginning with MI4, labelling was tied to the underlying tabular data (good) but print font sizes were locked... the end result was that the WYSIWYG feature disappeard.� One can regain this advantage by reverting to the old labelling method.� Neither approach is satisfactory.� The old system does not allow automatic label updating and the new system does not support WYSIWYG . Since version 4, I generally don't print from within Mapinfo... a map copy and paste to another application works much better. When printing from another application such as PowerPoint or Word, the on-screen visual appearance is maintained.� I don't beleive there is a single modern piece of software on the market (other than MI) that does not support WYSIWYG and quality printing from within the application!
