Label legend,(again)

[Cosmo]

After creating a new Legend, and choosing the fields (a cumbersome process with the double click thing--why not shift click, like every thing else?). I finally get a list of fields, but when I go to Edit Layout, no field names appear in the box to edit. Note, I've already sucessfully created a previous Label Legend.

For such a potentially powerful tool, it seems very glitchy and cumbersome--or maybe I'm just using it wrong...

I'm in Spotlight 8.5.2 on a G4 running OS 9.1.

That seems strange-we've never seen that here. What's your scale? Sometimes if you are in one to one, and then change scales it gets confused. Have you tried zooming out all the way? Are there any other label legends in the document? If you exit the layout and then come back into the label legend manager, is the legend you created there? Does it still have fields associated with it?

Let me know and I'll see if I can help.
