I found a solution... one that was described earlier in the thread (creating a "special" layer), sending it to layout page 0, and positioning the text as required. Apologies for wasting everyone's time.

I'm a new user and am struggling to figure out how to properly add the printed scale to a layout. My preference is to have the printed scale display in the template layout box for Scale. Seems a perfectly reasonable thing. Unfortunately, %scale%, on the layout template page, simply reports what has been specified in "Print -> Drawing Sheet Setup" for layout. Not terribly useful. The layout object name, box_scale, displays the scale ay which the plan was sent to layout. Also not useful for me. %scale%, on the plan page, displays the printed scale, *but* it is displayed within the layout box for the plan. Also not what I want. Is there a simple mechanism to place the printed scale in the template layout? (I did discover that if I place %scale% at the location of the template scale box I get what I want... but this seems a convoluted way to achieve the deisred result. Apologies for asking what I suspect has already been answered, but I haven't been able to locate an answer that works for me. Thanks. I'm using the Mac version of X7.
