Plan View Labeler

As a returning Microstation/Geopak user, I am having trouble getting the Plan View Labeler to display elevations at certain points.  I have input the Job Number, Chain, and TIN Model to use for calculating the elevations, and I do the following:

1) Click the "Data Point" button

2) Click "Z Elevation TIN"

3) Click on the point where I want the elevation to show up

4) Double click "Z Elevation TIN" so the elevation shows up in the Plan View Labeler in the upper right corner

5) Click on the location where the label is to be placed.

After doing these steps, not only will the label not "stick" (the label shows up in the plan view, but will not remain), but I cannot click on other points to get their elevations either.  I am dealing with an alignment with several curves and the labels are to be placed at an angle relative to the tangents, but if I can't use the Plan View Labeler, the only other thing I can think to do is draw angle bisectors at the locations where the lables are to be shown, then Place Text above the element.

I know there is some mysterious combination and order of buttons to click, I just don't know what they are.  Can anyone help this returing Microstation user?  I would surely appreciate it!
