It has been working fine for over a year, but recently we've noticed quite a few labels where the newlines (carriage returns) are not working, resulting in a single long line of text instead of multiple lines.</P><P></P><P>At the moment I'm stumped as to why it's happening - the only clues are that it seems to be labels which are on/outside/close to the mask (the polygon layer used for the data driven pages), and recently the server was upgraded to 10.3.1 from 10.2.2.</P><P></P><P>The attached images show what I mean. One shows three correctly labels as per a screenshot from the mxd open in ArcMap. One then shows the label for 'Block 2B' as one single line as per the output from the arcpy script.</P><P></P><P>Any ideas or suggestions on what to check would be much appreciated.</P><P></P><P>Cheers,</P><P></P><P>-Paul</P><P></P><P><IMG alt="correct_block_labels.png" class="image-1 jive-image" src="https://community.esri.com/legacyfs/online/130059_correct_block_labels.png" style="height: auto;" />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <IMG alt="INCORRECT_block_label.png" class="image-2 jive-image" src="https://community.esri.com/legacyfs/online/130060_INCORRECT_block_label.png" style="height: auto;" /></P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 07 Oct 2015 11:40:13 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/newlines-in-labels-not-working-in-some-instances/m-p/178932#M13738 Anonymous User 2015-10-07T11:40:13Z Re: Newlines in labels not working in some instances on export to PDF https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/newlines-in-labels-not-working-in-some-instances/m-p/178933#M13739 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Here's an update that makes it even more strange...
