The only workaround I've found so far is to recreate the annotation another way. For example, if you were creating all new annotation, one at a time, try adding a field of names to the attribute table of the layer the annotation belongs to. Then go in and edit for size and placement after the annotation layer is created. That has worked for me.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Good luck!</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 12 Apr 2013 21:54:46 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/annotation-disappeared-but-the-attribute-table/m-p/474495#M27031 ErinNovakovich 2013-04-12T21:54:46Z Re: Annotation Disappeared but the attribute table says that it is still there...??? https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/annotation-disappeared-but-the-attribute-table/m-p/474496#M27032 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hello,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>In the attribute table, does it show the annotations as being placed or unplaced?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Best,</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Melanie S.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 12 Apr 2013 22:10:58 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/annotation-disappeared-but-the-attribute-table/m-p/474496#M27032 MelanieSummers 2013-04-12T22:10:58Z Re: Annotation Disappeared but the attribute table says that it is still there...??? https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/annotation-disappeared-but-the-attribute-table/m-p/474497#M27033 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>My attribute table says they are placed.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Sat, 13 Apr 2013 00:13:45 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/annotation-disappeared-but-the-attribute-table/m-p/474497#M27033 ErinNovakovich 2013-04-13T00:13:45Z Re: Annotation Disappeared but the attribute table says that it is still there...??? https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/annotation-disappeared-but-the-attribute-table/m-p/474498#M27034 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hi Erin,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I would try exporting the annotation feature class.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Melanie S.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 15 Apr 2013 12:55:05 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/annotation-disappeared-but-the-attribute-table/m-p/474498#M27034 MelanieSummers 2013-04-15T12:55:05Z Re: Annotation Disappeared but the attribute table says that it is still there...??? https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/annotation-disappeared-but-the-attribute-table/m-p/474499#M27035 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Do graphics make annotations not draw like they make labels not draw?
