First here is your original example Plot[x^2, {x, -5, 5}, Prolog -> Text["HelloWorld", {-2, 10}]] Your problem if I understood well is that "HelloWorld" appears to "hit" the graph. Among many alternatives you could try: Plot[x^2, {x, -5, 5}, Prolog -> Text["HelloWorld", {-2, 13}]] Plot[x^2, {x, -5, 5}, Prolog -> Text["Hello\nWorld", {-2, 10}], PlotRange -> {Automatic, {-0.5, Automatic}}] Plot[x^2, {x, -5, 5}, Prolog -> Text["HelloWorld", {-2, 10}], ImageSize -> 400] Hope that this helps! Contact me if there is problem. Regards Dimitris Gary Boswell <wyvern864 at gmail.com> wrote: Any example will do. I think the problem is in a setting of the Option Inspector. But I can not determine what setting controls the text block of a gaph. An explicit example is: Plot[x^2, {x,-5,5},Prolog->Text["HelloWorld",{-2,10}]] Thanks, WetBlanket
