Use the Label Display tab of the layer’s Properties to change the settings
for a layer that is already open. To change label settings via Layer Control:
- With the Map window active, click Layer Control.
- Double-click the required layer and switch to the Label Display
tab:
- Make the desired changes and click OK.
- Ensure that the Visible box for the layer is ticked.
- To automatically label the layer with the new settings, ensure that
Automatic Labels are turned on. Click OK to
view the Map window with the changed settings.
Alternatively, you can leave Automatic Labels off, and, having clicked OK to return to the Map window, click the individual map objects after clicking the Label tool.
- To save the label settings, save the workspace. You do not need to save the
labels as a separate layer.
When using the Label button, MapInfo Pro only labels the topmost selectable feature layer. To label lower layers, hold down the Ctrlbutton.
To change the styles for individual labels, double-click on the individual labels using the pointer tool and make the changes in the Label Style dialog box.
