How do I force the word "TH" into split word lines ?

DEAF_PROBERT_68 — Wed, 03 Apr 2019 14:44:50 GMT

Hi,

I am struggled to try and split two words separate into two lines...

Here is an example above picture, see the word "TH" it is at the second line.

I need that "TH" move back to line 1 , because it is one word long and should be like this

Whiteside PS/ Threemile TH

Picnic Site

PS means Picnic Site

TH means Trailhead

So apparently somebody attribute it as a PS and TH.

Whiteside PS/ Threemile TH

Get it ?

How did I get there ?

I created it as a label class name in the Label Manager .

Then I customized it to make it the west as a position from the point layer

offset is 30 points

Then I hit the Label style to go to the Placement Properties set the separate separators and still not luck..

Could anyone of you can help me out here ?

it should be a simple one answer.

Robert, did you try to change your Maximum number of characters to line parameter?

Yes but I still don't understand how to use it.

I don't want to create a label to try it, but it looks like you have it set to split on commas, then the minimum line length would be 20 and the maximum 30... try changing maximum to a larger number since you have no comma to split on

I got it !

I googled it on minimum number of characters per line arcgis and it says only from 1 to 8.

for the Max number of characters per line , it should be from 2 to 80.

So , I worked it around and finally got it right...
