Whoops, Yes indeed.

I must have accidentally selected this...

However, this unfortunately does not solve my problem.

I have tried multiple vector files, from tutorials, my own v.org  
imports and I have never been able to get the labels to work...

I hope there may be some other little catch I am not picking up on...

Thank you for your quick responses , much appreciated...

cheers!
