Thanks to all those who responded, your help has been extremely valuable. This was the question: How is it possible to change the size of the text in an ArcInfo annotation coverage using ArcView? The size of the text was set in ArcInfo. Thanks for the help. This was the answer: The annotation size ($size) must be set to "0"(zero)in ArcInfo. Then, the size of the text can be manipulated in ArcView using the legend editor. I was also informed that there is a script that converts the text into a shapeline. The script is aianno2shape.ave, and can be found on the ESRI website. Ethan Goldberg GIS Technician Loudoun County Sanitation Authority P.O.
