RE: MI warning message upon startup
Hi! Rename it to MIDLOCI.DLL_ to disable it. My guess is that it might be because SpatialWare odbc driver4.0 instead of 3.50 is installed. The same thing happened here and that was the only difference in installation I could see.

RE: MI exporting maps to word
Hi! The fastest way which gives least problems I've found to be like this. Have the map window active, press Ctrl+C to copy it. Change to Word and take Paste special and choose Image (I hope thats what it is called in the English version) instead of MapInfo Mapobject. Paste special gives an image that is easier to move around in the document. It's great for day to day work instructions. Sorry to say it doesn't work on layout window there's the only way I've found to save window as wmf or print to file.

RE: MI HELP!
Hi! I've been using MapInfo for 4 years and I have developed same problems as you. My remedies are: 1 Like Jaques suggested I have a customised mbx so I can reach common commands from the keyboard. Today I have rewritten the MapInfo mnu-file instead. Helps a lot and it also makes you much faster. Dangerously fast however. 2 I use 2 mouses (mice?). One connected to the serial port and the other on the ps2. You can also use an Y-mouse from P I Engineering but both NT and Win98 supports 2 mice. The advantage is that I can make e g a zoom window by moving one mouse and clicking with the other (the Y-mouse doesn't support that however). 3 I use a "mousetrapper", a mouse tray made in Sweden. Difficult for me to describe it. It's a holder for an Intellimouse and you move the cursor with a rod. You always have the hands right in front of you when using it and it gives support for the wrists. You can see a picture at www.ergoff.se (click on Produkter and Pekdon. It's quit common here. 4 Go to www.tifaq.com It's a very good place to get information of all kind. For example I read something about moving the cursor with the eyes and click by blinking. 5 My experience is to avoid trackballs and touchpads. 6 Maybe most important of all in my experience. Work slightly slower. I hope this is of some help Best of regards Christer J -Original Message- From: Vicky Higgins [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, June 15, 2000 1:06 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: MI HELP!

I am attempting to add in a fairly lengthy disclaimer that has to go onto all mapping products & find that it can't be done all in one go. I have tried unsuccessfully:- - typing it in directly onto the layout window, (doesn't work as it exceeds text limit), - opening it up as a delimited ascii (.txt) file, (it opens up in columns) & - typing disclaimer in sections, aligning it up as best possible & saving as a table. Trouble is it has to be moved around & manipulated to suit on different size maps. I guess my question simply is "Can the text limit be altered say through Mapbasic?"
