Andreas, Chris: One quick way around to this is to choose Map>Clear Custom Labels. That will remove any changes made to the auto-labels and revert everything back to it's default size and position as set up in the labelling section of the Layer Control. Of course then you will have to pick up and move the labels that require it once again - one of the drawbacks of the MapInfo labelling system. Hope that helps, Jason ____________________________ Jason Adam Computer Draftsperson De Beers Canada Exploration Inc. Toronto, ON [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Andreas, If you add the same layer again via your layer control and then run the auto label it should work. Loosing the automatic labelling only affects the layer within a map window and not the actual .tab file. I have found that once you manually change a label then that object is no longer available to automatic labelling via the layer control. Of course you can re label it manually. To guard against this I keep copies of workspaces or clone views of map windows.
