To Add Parcel Area Labels

Add multiple area labels to a single parcel.

You can control the display of parcel area labels separately for each viewport. A parcel can support more than one area label in addition to the embedded area selection label. With multiple area labels per parcel, you can use layer control to display a different label for each viewport with the correct orientation. You can also manage multiple parcel labels with the Edit Parcel Properties dialog box.
