Thanks, that rings a bell. Sometimes is a month or 6 weeks between using Manifold. It was probably July when I last labelled anything. I do remember now I copied the geometry into a new field in the table and turned the areas into centroids (points) then made another drawing from the points from which I made labels, then I could move the labels. It's coming back now. I used 5,000 points because 5, 10, 15, 25, 50 did nothing so i tried something extreme to see if I could get the label to move, if it moved out of view then I would know MOVE was working. I needed to get the map product out this morning so I ended up copying a screenshot of my map, pasting into a drawing program and putting my labels on that way for now. The issue was the label placement in M9 was obscuring the areas underneath. However I broke my rule of never re-typing anything that is already in the computer because, especially with place names in another language, there is huge chance of making a typographical error. Retyped some names, copy and pasted the complicated names. OK, good point re: not using single quotes or any symbols.
