I told it to use regular placement, horizontal within the polygon and left the May place outside polygon boundary unchecked.&nbsp; I included name and space id.&nbsp; Stacking the label also was helpful. <!-- content transformation source ID: 00aE00000027EYC --> </BODY></HTML> Fri, 21 Dec 2012 16:35:19 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/cemetery-mapping/idc-p/927153#M1765 JoshWhite 2012-12-21T16:35:19Z
