Hi James,
1. This does not solve the problem, but at least now I know where I stand 🙂
2. Could you be a bit more specific please. I am trying to do what you suggested but it seems that I am misunderstanding something. So, I have two collinear segments (btw, that's the word I was looking for) and I run Parcels->Labels-Add.. command. I select Feature: Parcel, Label Type: Single Segment (right?), Line label style: [Span] Bearing and Distance with Crows Feet, and then I click Add button in the Add Labels dialog box. It prompts me - Select label location, so I select, but it labels only one segment of the two collinear ones. What am I missing?
