Mark, so that we're on the same page, would you mind posting a step by step, not images, just something like:
In Explorer, click on point, and place your point on the map, in the note dialog, enter a name, then in the pop up box beneath it, place information unique to the point, click OK.
Now go to your point icon in the contents window on the right and right click it and choose "share", in the Sharing window that appears, select ... etc etc.
At this point I can select either layer package or kml, and neither one, when migrated to arcmap will give me pop up info. The kmz file, though, will at least show the name of the pin I placed. See images:
This is in Explorer, the original pin.
This is the lpk file in ArcMap. Nothing I check in labels will display anything.
This is the kmz file imported into ArcMap. The only thing that appears is Name. If I add ANYTHING else it's blank.
And here is the popup / popup info extracted to dbf from the attribute table, it is the same in the lpk as wel las the kmz files.
| <style>body { font-family:Arial; font-size:x-small; } h1 { font-family:Arial; font-size:x-large; } h2 { font-family:Arial; font-size:large; } h3 { font-family:Arial; font-size:medium; } h4 { font-family:Arial; font-size:small; } h5 { font-family:Arial; f |

Wish this forum had code tags...
But wait, there's more!
I've attached them both if you want to give them a look see.
I'm thinking this is something I'll need to get my GIS IT guy to look at, and see if there's something in the settings keeping this from working.
We all answer to the IT department, and heaven forbid if our computers were functional and actually worked as tools, you know. Maybe he can get it going without begging IT to allow him to do anything. (I can't edit the xml file in explorer here on my desktop. I've been working on that in the tablet)
*Edit:
I took the kmz file and tested it in google earth, and the pop up dialog is intact, so it's something to do with arcmap, I'm sure. I'll have our GIS guy see if he can figure it out, thanks, Mark!
I think this is just an issue with labeling in ArcMap. I can reproduce the same issue.
If you set placement properties for the label you can make it show up, but it won't fit on the screen and won't look that good.
In the labeling properties.
I placed the label on the point.
I then set the Conflict Detection to place overlapping labels.
This labels the point.
You could use the following label expression to the make the Popup field from a layer package created in ArcGIS Explorer Desktop look better in ArcMap.
Function FindLabel ( [Popup] )
k = InStr( [Popup], "</style>" )
l = k + 7
totallength = Len( [Popup] )
bodycount = totallength - l
bodytext = Right( [Popup], bodycount )
if len(bodytext) > 10 then
if instr(bodytext," " )<>0 then
str=split(bodytext," " )
i=0
for i = lbound(str) to ubound(str)
FindLabel1= FindLabel1 & " " & str(i)
if len(FindLabel1) >= 25 then
label= label & " " & vbcrlf & " " & findlabel1
findlabel1=""
end if
findlabel = label & " " & vbCrLf & " " & FindLabel1
next
end if
else
FindLabel = bodytext
end if
End Function
The script removes the <style> tags and wraps the label text for display on the map.
To set text alignment use the Symbol Properties
When it comes to really long strings ArcMap's Identify and table window do not show everything, the value displayed is truncated. When you exported to .DBF that too is truncated as .DBF does not allow for text fields with lengths greater than 254.
In ArcMap's table window if you right click and copy the string value, you can paste it into a text editor, like notepad, and see the full value.
I see that you found a solution using the Popup tool in ArcMap, but to be thorough ... added the above.
