Aye - there's the rub! The inability to hide freehand text at certain scales is a real annoyance. Has anyone else come across this problem? Any other suggestions?
Rudy, thanks for giving me a way to handle the freehand labels issue. However I have a question for the Caliper folk -- Why isn't there an "Overlaps" tab in the Manual Labels menu, to deal with the freehand scaling issue, just as there is in the Automatic Labels menu (you know, the one between "Labels" and "Frames")?
