Hi Glen,

to avoid mistakes like the one you mentioned, you can rely on the macro
recorder [1].
This is what it recorded when I used the 'Image > Stacks > Label...'
command on a stack:

     run("Label...", "format=0 starting=1 interval=1 x=5 y=24 font=24
text=[ Frames] range=1-114 use");

Hope that helps,
Jan

But unfortunately, when I use the overlay option, I get the same label on every frame instead of an incremented label. This seems to be an overlay-specific issue that was discussed recently on this thread<https://list.nih.gov/cgi-bin/wa.exe?A2=ind1606&L=IMAGEJ&D=0&1=IMAGEJ&9=A&J=on&d=No+Match;Match;Matches&z=4&P=29225>:
