Hi Dave, Before I upgarded to MI 7.8, I kept the disclaimer text in a TAB and had it open in a mapper. I then added the mapper to the layout.
Mind you, I think the upgrade was a better idea. Version 7.8 eliminated a lot of frustrating things (for me at least). With the lack of budget on my end, I can only dream of 8.5. _________________________ Don GIS Technician (IMS) City of St.Thomas. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 05, 2006 7:44 AM To: mapinfo-l@lists.directionsmag.com Subject: MapInfo-L Digest, Vol 11, Issue 9 Send MapInfo-L mailing list submissions to mapinfo-l@lists.directionsmag.com To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://www.directionsmag.com/mailman/listinfo/mapinfo-l or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can reach the person managing the list at [EMAIL PROTECTED] When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of MapInfo-L digest..."

Looks like the only fix is to upgrade to the current version :-( Regards, Dave Markey Corporate Applications Officer Information Systems Corporate Services Department Ph (07) 3810 6723 >>> "Martin Higham" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 05/09/2006 2:55:38 pm >>> MI Pro v7.8 increased the max length of text strings to 2047 characters, so it seems you're 1 version out. Otherwise, you just have to be careful with alignment and then you can position multiple text strings to look as though they are one and the same. You still have to use this approach if you want multiple fonts/styles or special symbols in your text string.
