Callout problems

[BrianBulla]

Hi,

I have a callout on my page that is too wide.  Is there a way to control how wide it gets, and then spread the text over multiple lines??  This is labelling, not annotation.

Stack labels might be what you're looking for.

[BrianBulla]

Interesting....I don't seem to have that option.  I'm running ArcPro 2.2.4.  Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere to enable this??

[AdrianWelsh]

Brian,

Are you labelling a feature or is this free text from a text box?

[BrianBulla]

This is feature labelling.

Here are my settings for the Callout:

And when I go to the Positions settings there is nothing there for Stack:

It has worked before though.  I remember seeing Callouts stacked in a previous project.  This one is using a Map Series.  Would that make any difference??

It may be related to a map series, I don't know. Do you have Maplex Label Engine turned on?

[BrianBulla]

Ah, you're a genius!  With the multiple 'Maps' in my project, some had it turned on and others didn't.

Thanks!

No problem! I'm glad it worked out. Labelling is tricky as there are too many variables to consider! Maplex is another one of those things that throws me for a loop all the time.
