Hi Phillip, You may want to inlcude a new field (using 'DATAVIEW-->MODIFY TABLE-->ADD FIELD) and add those objects you manually included before. Now use this field for labelling them directly or indirectly (using SELECTION SETS) and set them to appear only at desired scales. Now, if the manual object is a figure it changes its size automatically when you zoom in or out. But when its text you can right click on the text object and go into the poperty window and -- you can set the text to change with scale or keep it fixed (you cannot hide them though!). Regards Rudy B.
