BGD Formatting TAG

[RobertBorchert]

I am setting up label rules for the dynamic text labels for a layout.  But the same question applies to dynamic labeling as well. The examples below are for dynamic text.

When using the BGD formatting tag to create a background on your text is there a way to cause the box to go all the way around all the lines of text.

I want it to look like this. The light blue box is accomplished simply by adding a back ground to the dynamic labeling box

But when I use the BGD tag it comes out like this. And I would like to expand the Black area to look more like an envelope around both of the labels.

This is how I have it set up right now.

Hi Robert,

Apologies for the extreme delay in a response.

The solution for this when using dynamic labels in Maplex would be to pad the bottom line with spaces to achieve a equal black background as the top line line. Just be sure to uncheck the 'Remove extra spaces' option in the expression dialog or the spaces you add will be removed.
