With Labels "Enabled",, you may choose the desired Standard or Custom Label. For example, for the City field, you could select the "City" or "Town" Label or any other Label that has been defined for use in a Place Style. The same would also apply to Name Labels for any Standard or Custom Labels defined for use in a Name Style. With Labels Enabled, the label field itself will be accessible by tabbing to it in the normal Tab order for the Tag. If Labels are Disabled, the Label fields are not included in the Tab order for a Tab. When Labels are "Accessible only with mouse", it is the same as Disabled" _except_ that you can click on the Label field and choose another Label for that field. I rarely wish to change Labels, but when I do, I don't want the hassle of having to switch to Enabled Labels and then switch back. So I usually just select the mouse option -- the best of both worlds. The reason some users prefer Disabled over the mouse option is that fast work often leads to inadvertent changes (which can done without the user being aware until later and Disabled prevents this). Note that changing a Label also will force a change to the Place or Name Style which you may or may not want. TMG will attempt to select the Style that closely matched the Labels that you select. If you select a Label that is in one Style and other Labels aren't in that Style, you may be presented with the possibility of creating a new Style which may or may not be what you want. The new Style will also likely have a rather unusual name -- the basic Label names in the Style. The nice thing about this is that TMG populates the new Style and you just need to arrange the placement of the Labels and the punctuation. You should also be aware that changing a Style for a previously used name or place will change the Style for that name or place wherever it is used. Lee
